Everlasting Peace

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Don't want to live forever
Just want to experience everlasting peace
Alive I might never
Hope only upon my decease

Things in life we wish for
Don't materialize with certainty
In death we can be sure
Tranquility will last for eternity

    He who gives us life wants us to know.
    It is for His purpose, a way to show.
    The lessons to learn are by His will.

    Life offers us to climb many a hill.
    Without any pain there can be no gain.
    May this message help you to sustain.

    Despite the hardships that often crush.
    God wants us around very very much.
    All our pain and our suffering to hush.
