Life’s Long Journey

Here’s a poem and hymn I’m writing for you today:

Life’s long journey may seem fast,
Each day’s work can make it last,
Long into the dark of night,
Keeping earthly things in sight.

Lift our vision to the skies,
Heaven’s place where we’ll arise.
Doff the cares of shallow days,
Look unto its golden rays.

Set your thoughts on things ahead,
Where Christ sits up from the dead.
Never let the world defy,
All the blessings by and by.

So, this day let’s give our all,
Answering the Father’s call.
Stoked and set and ready bent,
Doing, going where we’re sent!

Amen. I love you.
