THE LIGHT OF PEACE |
June 14, 2007 |
Many waters I have sailed,
Throughout the voyage of life,
Over waters tranquil,
Free of pain and strife.
Sometimes tossed in raging storms,
Though never left alone,
There was a light that beckoned me,
Toward the shores of home.
Always in the distance,
This beacon I could see,
Giving me direction,
As sailed upon life's sea.
My journey is completed now,
The tide is drifting in,
My vessel moves on gentle waves....,
Eternity begins.
