(Before It's News)
Travelling Light
The pace is slow, the scenery passes by, yet I can see it clearly
I think to myself of how I love this familiar place so dearly
The winter sun bathes the outline of bare trees, bereft of leaves
Heads were bowed in prayer, remembering as the heart grieves
I am snug and comfortable in the back of this huge black hearse
My eyes warm to the beauty of life, my heart beats a poetic verse
I am not alone in this journey, a very important person travels with me
I just celebrated his funeral rites in church with tones of solemn decree
We spoke lovingly of a father, a brother, a friend, a child of God’s own keeping
We were moved by the tributes, and in the hearing, we were left weeping
Now we are traveling light, all burdens lifted, moving to a final resting place
The pace is slow, the scenery passes by, we travel onwards, by God’s own grace.
