The Garden of Promise
There is a place, I have been told, beyond an open gate all have been invited where friends and loved ones wait. It holds eternal promise of everlasting peace no pain or sorrow ever comes and teardrops there have ceased. Abundant life is evident constant, fresh and new a garden of provision with eternity in view the promise is waiting a place we can abide fulfilled for all who answer the call to come inside.
Afterglow
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
