Lifes Journey (Revised) Poem by Heather Burns

Lifes Journey (Revised)

Rating: 5.0


As I have traveled this
journey called life
I have sought to maintain
my dignity and honor
trying to make correct
decisions

gaining love and respect
from my children
I have remained faithful
to my childhood teachings

life is like a chess game
win some lose some

the spirit of man never
dies this is the entrance
to the mysteries of life

all the cob-webs of life
are in these mysteries
it is up to us to remove
them separate the facts

I pray when my journey
has ended
standing before the
gatekeeper
he will find me worthy

unlock the gate for my
entrance
My family awaits me
It will be a glorious
reunion.
