One foot in the grave the other on ice,
Is that the perspective now?
Our actual thoughts regarding the truth
Of pallor on the brow…
.
.
One foot on earth the other above!
Now there is a thought, mature!
It is nice to know where you are bound
Because we are going to die, for sure!
.
.
The older I grow more surely I know,
I am really just passing through.
My sight is inclined more surely each day
On that city beyond the blue!
.
.
If this is your perspective I know
You are living not missing a thing.
Your life is full, sure some pain now and then,
But assured of what heaven will bring!
.
.
Like peace and joy evermore!
