Life Is But A Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.
We all have different j oumeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay ... Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know.
