The  Journey



















Should you go first and I remain

to walk the road alone,

I'll live in memories garden dear,

with happy days we've known.

Star Image

In spring I'll wait for roses red,

when faded, the lilacs blue.

In early fall when brown leaves fall,

I'll catch a glimpse of you.

 

Star Image

Should you go first and I remain,

for battle to be fought,

Each thing you've touched along the way

will be a hallowed spot.


Star Image

I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,

though blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand

will buoy me on with hope.

 

Star Image

Should you go first and I remain,

one thing I'll have you do:

Walk slowly down that long long path,

for soon I'll follow you.

 

Star Image

I want to know each step you take,

so I may take the same.

For someday down that lonely road

you'll hear me call your name.

Life is changed, not taken away.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.




 

 

 

The Journey

 


Ships are not built for the harbor,
 
 surely in life there is more;
 
 The journey is what brings fulfillment
 
 to a life that is worth living for.

 
 
 
 
From the heart comes the hope of the present,
 
 from memories dreams from the past.
 
 From the soul comes the spirit of living,
 
 from experience lessons that last.
 
 
 
 Look ahead to see where you're going,
 
 look behind to see where you've been.
 
 Look inside to discover your purpose,
 
 then let life’s voyage begin.
 
 
 
 Take care as you sail to your future.
 
 Share kindness with people you meet.
 
 Take heart in the oceans you conquer,
 
 till your journey through life is complete.
 
 
 
 And when life’s voyage is over,
 
 when your sun starts to set in the sea,
 
 pass on to the next generation
 
 the joy that the journey can be.
