“Are we there yet?”
asks the traveler.
“Not yet, my child.
The road ahead is very long,
with mountains to climb,
rivers to ford,
and valleys to travel through.
You’ll rest in pleasant fields
with amiable companions
and dance to music
only you can hear
as you journey along.
You’ll pass through storms
where strong winds blow,
and you’ll trip in rough places and fall,
but when your strength will waver,
it is then that I’ll carry you.
When what’s before you is obscured
by fog or darkest night,
and you can’t find your direction,
I’ll guide you with my hand
upon your shoulder.
You’ll gather bouquets of roses,
feeling petals of velvet
and breathing in sweetest perfume,
not noticing the thorns
until they pierce you.
With pebbles in your shoes
and rainbows overhead,
you’ll stride along with purpose
to reach your destination
in the days of your wayfaring.
If you keep looking straight ahead,
neither turning aside for bright lights
nor being deterred by savage beasts,
you will not lose your way
as you sojourn on this road.
Just follow the signs I’ve given
to reach the other side.
My gate is open wide,
and the price of your entrance is paid
for an eternity with me in Paradise.”
