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.
