The final word
is not for us to say
or know
Only God knows
and gives the answer
when the path
we take in life
is finished.
Young or old
it is God alone
who fills us, completes us.
We trudge onward
pursuing in faith
that place only He can bring us
Reaching that golden shore
where everything that mattered
does not matter
where seeing and being
with our redeemer
and loved ones gone on before
is within reach
The burdens of our life
however big or small
lifted
when we accepted
Jesus' offer
to shoulder our load of distress
to take on our guilt
The pain and suffering remained
remains still
But that too will diminish
and be no more
That moment He calls us home.
