Poem
Step by Step I've climbed each day, Closer to God with prayer Ipray. For "The Cry of the Heart " offered in prayer, Become just another Spiritual Stair. In the "Heavenly Staircase " leading me to, A beautiful place where I will live anew. So never give up for it 's worth the climb, To live forever in "Endless Time. "
Where my soul is safe andfree, To live in love throughout eternity.
