"Life Is But A Stopping Place" 
Life is but a stopping place. A pause is what's to be 
A resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys. 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. For some, the journey's quicker, For some, the journey finally ends. We'll claim a great reward Andfind an everlasting p eace 
Together with the Lord.
