The Last Walk
There comes a time in everybody's life
When you are closer to the end of your journey !
You know in your heart, you won't come out alive
Because you are nearer to the gates of pearly !
The Bible says our life is like a vapor,
Has it been about me and nobody else ?
A few lines in the obituaries in the newspaper,
Will that sums it up, nevertheless ?
A life well lived, should be for others,
What have you done with all your money ?
We should be generous to each other,
The more you give, will not make you a phoney.!
The best things in life are free,
Enjoying ones company with a friendly Hello !
Friends are like gold, would you not agree ?
Blood is thicker than water, it is so .told.
Youth is fleeting, the real test is when you are old,
Your body will crumble and then what ?
A keen mind will not be outsold.
A giving life, body mind and soul !
It's not what you have in life that counts,
Your possessions will never make the difference,
Health is wealth, nothing can buy it, to be blunt,
Let God be your mentor, He will carry you through !
