A journey through life we all do take; on a mission, a change we hope to make.
It begins in the cradle and Mom's caring arms, but out of the crib faces alone life's threat of harm.
Sometimes through valleys of pain, yet other times over mountains of gain.
The road taken is uniquely selected, twists and turns like none other erected.
For some it is mostly joy and success, for others sorrow and distress.
There is a choice for which trail we travel, but no predictor whether our path is rough or level.
We best journey according to God's plan, for no matter whether rough or level, He is in command.
Regardless the sorrow, Regardless the pain, life lived for God and others is not in vain.
We weather the storms and move on further, We find comfort in knowing we have helped others.
Until we reach our peak we progress fairly well; As we move forward a change we can tell.
Our movement through time seems to slow, as time itself does faster flow.
Those who have accompanied us slowly disappear, over the horizon our own end does appear.
Life's matters we continue to attend; we struggle on until we reach life's end.
The details of our journey's end we may not see; yet we know that if lived right we find peace in eternity;
We may have lived a life of sorrow and pain, Yet if we lived for God and others our life was not in vain.
