This life is but a brief stop,
As we travel down destiny’s way.
We must always take time to savor,
The joys of each and every day.
While we live life to the fullest,
Spreading our good works all around.
We are receiving back so much love,
From delightful people we have found.
Family and friends make this stop,
A little bit of heaven here on earth.
Fleeting days seem like just seconds,
So fill these brief moments with mirth.
But soon we will be traveling on,
Having a glorious home with the Lord.
However since we still have today
There is still time to reap our rewards.
Now take a long walk in the woods and
Stop to watch the animals at play.
Pick a pretty bouquet of wild flowers
While you bask in this warm sunny day.
You must never let today end without
Telling those you love how much you care.
This will fill your life with a pleasant feeling
That all these loved ones are able share.
With these simple things this brief stop,
Has been successful as you travel on your way.
While sharing your life’s accomplishments
Have made the best of these concise days.
