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!

.
