Life’s Road
By Pete Munroe
Mow far, far through this vale of
years
We’ve trod the rocky path of life.
Mow bitter were the tears we shared.
And, oh, how futile was the strife.
But now the trail is growing short
A broader road ahead, I see.
What matters what the years have
brought
When we are in eternity.
And yet before the road I reach
A crystal lake ahead appears.
And in its mirrored life’s long day—
here I can stand and laugh at fears.
But sigh grows dim and time is gone,
cannot stop—I dare not stay,
arewell, dear one, for life goes on
And I must end this little day.
We’ve loved so well our lives to live.
We have not lived in vain, I trow.
Weep not, my love, the trail is long
But I’ll wait at the end, I vow.
