when it comes to discussions of our own mortality.
Thoughts of eternity come to mind,
and then silence takes place,
bringing talks to a short lull.
Might I offer you my friend,
between me and you,
there really is no end.
All it takes is some observations,
quiet thoughts and prayer,
to realize-
You really shouldn’t have any reservations.
Allow me to explain this thought and why…
On the most beautiful days, when you are out and about-
Have you ever really noticed and looked at the sky?
It is painted with rich warm colors-such a vivid display.
Their bursts of energy-
It’s like they want to stand up and shout!
Have you ever experienced the tranquility of a sunrise or a sunset?
My friend, it’s the only true peace
that can set you free…
Another thought, I shall bare to offer.
Is the love of children-
And their unconditional love
for their mother and father.
And the design of the human race.
How God made each and every one of us
with a different style and a different face.
Really-if you take a moment to understand…
God knew what he was doing-
You see-
We are all part of his plan!
Why question mortality?
Why doubt our chance at eternity?
Look at the world around me and you…
It was always God’s unconditional love…
What else could be more true?
