LIFE IS A J0URNEY
Life is but a stopping place,
a pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay….
Our destination is a place,
far greater than we know,
For some the journey’s quicker,
for some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
we’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
together with the Lord.

My Commentary:
This poem reminds us that life is not a destination in itself, but a sacred journey. We often live as though everything must be completed, secured, and understood here and now, yet faith teaches us that this world is only a passage — a meaningful pause between beginning and eternity.
Each person travels a different road. Some paths are smooth, others marked by struggle, loss, or waiting. Yet every experience carries lessons meant to shape our hearts rather than define our final home. We are travelers, not permanent residents, learning patience, compassion, and trust along the way.
The poem also offers comfort in life’s great mystery: why some journeys seem long while others end too soon. From a spiritual perspective, time is not measured by years alone but by purpose fulfilled and love given. God walks beside each traveler, guiding unseen steps toward a greater horizon.
For believers, the promise at the end of the journey transforms how we live today. Hope replaces fear, and meaning emerges even in hardship. The road may twist and climb, but it leads toward peace — an everlasting rest in the presence of the Lord.
Life, then, is not merely about arriving safely at the end, but about traveling faithfully, trusting that every step brings us closer to home.
Do you feel that this is more like America today than it did a year ago?
I felt compelled to publish my thoughts in my new book — WHAT MAKES AMERICA AMERICA.
I have 62 Chapters that look at every aspect of life in America, from Native Americans to Elvis.
