The Pathway

As I walk the path between life and death,
I see the birds and hear their call.
With each step forward I smell the new mown grass.
And I wonder at the fragrance of the flowers.
I quicken my pace as familiar faces smile, in welcome of me.
And friendly hands extend to clasp in mine.
I hear a gentle, loving voice, that calms my puzzled soul.
"Welcome home,have no fear. You are safe and those you loved are here Come into the garden and rest awhile."
And as I sit, a loved one comes and leads me further on I smile and sigh as I realise That the pains of the earth are gone.
My body was tired so I laid it down.
But my spirit journeys on...
