A few more bends of the blue river,
A few more curves in the sandy road,
A few more items to deliver,
A few more miles to carry the load.
God will call us up to be with Him,
Upward without feather wing or plane,
Where days are not even slightly dim,
And actions are always blessed and sane.
So be faithful to today’s tough task.
Work in the growing, gathering gloom.
Do diligently what Christ does ask.
Heaven will be a glorious home! – eab, 1/26/09
