The Story Of Life
The Gift of life a precious gift
We mortals take for granted
And those Dear ones we love so much
In our memories are implanted.
So we pass our memories down
To those we leave behind
And tell them of our earthly love
For those who’ve been so kind.
We think of those before us,
As we’re strolling down life’s lane
A drop of blood from each of them
Flows warmly through our veins.
Oh yes! Like us they made mistakes
Sometimes deliberately.
Once they were young and human,
Just like you and me.
While wandering through the lives of those
From whom we were begotten,
Our own life story comes to mind,
Lest we too, be forgotten.
And when our lives are over
Our times on earth is served
May our lives be remembered
Our memories be preserved.
Arriving at the Pearly Gates
The Good Lord shows us in.
And then He turn to us and says.
“Please meet your early kin.â€
Do we lower our eyes and drop our heads,
And say to him in shame,
“I’m sorry sir, in my mortal life,
I never heard your name.â€
But no! We’ll raise our chain up high
To meet his steady gaze.
And say, Oh yes! I know you,
From your earthly days.â€
Someone wrote the story
Of how you live your life.
Of happiness and joy,
And yes, sometimes of strife.
May the story of life continue
Of the older one so wise
As descendants arrive in heaven
Our names they’ll recognize.
