Where Worthy Live On! Poem by Tom Zart

Life's a book written through
Where the pages are the years.
There's good, evil, false and true
With laughter, sweat, and tears.

Our days are songs composed by God
As we set them to music with pleasure.
His cup of life is for us to drink
Though, He, decides the measure.

Hurried and worried, dawn till dusk
There's no time for a curtain call.
We burn our candles from both ends
And we're lucky to be alive at all.

Cards are shuffled and hands are dealt
For all to place their bets.
Youthful blunders, adulthood struggles
And old age with its regrets.

It matters not, how long we live
More, how well we play our part.
For the road to Heaven is always near
As long as there's truth in our heart.

After death the wicked cease to be troublesome
And all who are weary have forever to rest.
People who apply their heart to seek out wisdom
Are lovingly remembered by all they have blessed.

Tears are life's most humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye.
Though eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

Let there be no sad farewell
After we have past and gone.
Hopefully to heaven,
where worthy souls live on.
