There are endless paths to choose,
And there is no map, no charted course.
Life is a journey we’re all taking together!
Side by side, though we rarely take notice
Of who’s standing right next to us,
We’re all heading in the same direction
To a place no one’s ever seen!
Day by day, we’re racing toward that place
Mindless of what surrounds us
Tripping over each other along the way!
Roses are still blooming
But we’ve forgotten how beautiful their scent!
Rainbows, sunsets, meadows, even children…
Life’s greatest gifts, most often taken for granted!
Kings, queens, beggars, thieves,
Our souls all look the same!
We are no more and no less
Than those who walk beside us!
In life, our own importance drives us,
But at the end of the journey
Will we really matter? Will anyone remember?
Beyond the sunset, lies the door to infinity!
And no matter what we collect along the way
We’ll take nothing with us through that door.
What we had won’t matter a rodent’s rump!
Who we were will mean everything!
For when stripped of the earth from whence we came…
All that remains is dust!

Wonderful thoughts in poetic form. We are only human super star or box car. We all are on the same journey and God has a special purpose for all of us. God Bless You!

But at the end of the journey
Will we really matter? Will anyone remember?
I think many will remember her, for a very long time.
