Reliving Moments

 

How far would you go to be at rest?

For some it’s more money

For others it’s getting married

For some others it’s extinguishing an adversary

For me it’s ending the day knowing I gave it all to fulfilled my purpose

I hate to go to bed thinking about what I haven’t done

Or what I still have unsettled from the day before

 

When I end the day with most of my To Do list crossed off

I tend to sleep sounded, longer, my mind at rest

I love the feeling of crossing out the days on my calendar

Knowing I have given my best to each

Acknowledging the little steps I took towards the bigger goal

I love the feeling of knowing my heavenly father smiles

Each time I go to bed knowing I have given my all in pursuit of his will

The roadmap to living in peace is written in the hearts of all

A few minutes of each day given to discovering that route

Pays of at the very end of your life’s journey

When all begins to wind down

And the sands of time slowly drains its last grains

When the sun begins to set on your time here

And you take a few moments to reminisce

On the times and seasons long gone

When you sit idly in the swaying chair

And watch the little children dance in the rain

 

Then images begin to flash back at you

And you see the days you really lived

The moments you truly gave

The opportunities you honestly used

The lives you lovingly touched

Then you would lie down without a pain

And rest in peace knowing on the other side

God will be gladly waiting to receive you
