poem for Penny

All Paths Lead to Thee

Slowly, we walk

through this life,

rejoicing in moments shared with friends,

times passed,

taking life as it comes,

Friends and family move in and out of our days,

All are welcome, all are missed,

in the progression

toward the One, the Only, the Blessed Friend,

The path we walk

is laden with flowers,

all suffering is nothing

before Thy Face,

All is forgotten when we know

that all paths lead to Thee,

O hasten my time to meet Thee!

Hold me not back, Let me run to greet Thee!

The joy in living all the days of our lives

is that all paths lead to Thee!
