Life's Journey

Life's Journey:
Contemplating the Immortality of the Soul

A journey we begin at birth,
on this small speck of dust called Earth,
over life's broad highway many plod,
leaving the narrow paths untrod.

From birth to death some may race,
considering life a game of chase,
beyond death's door they refuse to look,
as if this material life were a closed book.

While over life's highway others roam,
who don't consider this Earth home,
beyond death's door they can't see,
but they believe their souls live eternally.

The worlds of God go into eternity,
beyond Earth's plane where we can't see,
we're given a glimpse now and then,
when God sends His Prophets to walk among men.

The journey we began at birth,
will last beyond this plane of Earth,
through the worlds of God ours souls will roam,
Traveling forever through their true home.
