Life Is But A Vapor

Here one second. Gone the next.

For those who remain-

Life continues with our daily routines and habits.

We continue to breathe and move and have our being.

Our existence as we knew it, seems meaningless and yet-

Life goes on for some.

Here one minute. Gone the next.

For those who remain-

We eat, work, and try to sleep-

yet our hearts, minds and souls are missing in action.

Our hearts ache over our loss, to the point

of longing to join them in the sweet bye and bye.

Our emotional highs and lows flow freely, as do our tears of sorrow and yet-

Life goes on for some.

Here today. Gone the next.

For those who remain-

Laughing, smiling, even talking at times seems painful.

Unfocused minds, troubled spirits, and wandering thoughts

now clutter our sadden lives.

We wait. We pray. We hope that each day the pain will cease and yet-

Life goes on for some.

Here today. Gone tomorrow.

For those who remain-

May not see their loved ones rejoicing and praising God but they do.

In that next second, that next minute and that next day;

their cherished one is in the arms of their loving Father.

Gone from sickness, pain, and suffering.

Entering into the glorious presence of Yahweh.

Visiting with friends and relatives who met them at heaven's gate.

Walking together, hand in hand on streets of gold and so-

Life goes on for all.

Here today. There forever in eternity.

For all of us-

Life goes on; either in the present world or the next.

Live each day as if it were your last.

Love the Lord and others with passion and show it.

Share His message so others will love and know Him.

Be Heavenly minded and of some earthly good.

Anticipate the day, you too will be reunited

with those who went abrutly ahead.

Yes, Life does go on.

Life goes on for us all.

In loving memory of Joey Maria on his recent eternal home coming, and so many of our

friends and family who have already departed this life.
