I walked along a forest trail,

beneath a pale blue sky;

no clouds appeared to darken,

the sun was bright and high.

I chanced upon a figure,

draped in purest white;

who bade me to remain a bit,

and make my burden light.

He spoke to me of passing time,

of life and love and pain;

then told me of the reason why,

He knew me by my name.

I came for you to tell you,

that this life is near its end;

but worry not my kindly man,

for you will rise again;

To My Kingdom you will come,

to spend eternity;

then He spoke of those I loved,

assuring me they’re free.

He urged me to deliver,

these perfect words to you;

that life is never over,

death just makes it new.

If you just remember,

that God is always there;

delight yourself in His love,

and know that He does care.

So, walk your life with purpose,

rejoice in every day;

for someday you will find Him,

there along the way.
