One
More River to Cross
I
have crossed so many rivers
As
I’ve roamed upon this earth
I
have seen a world of wonders
I
have known a baby’s birth.
I
have scaled a mighty mountain
Walked
in valleys down below
Stood
in meadows filled with clover
Saw
canyons filled with snow.
I
have known the bliss of springtime
Smelled
the roses on the vine
Seen
the golden leaves of autumn
Tasted
grapes upon the vine.
Felt
the glowing warmth of sunshine
I
have walked within the light
I
have known the chill of winter
And
a flock of bird in flight.
I
have traveled to some countries
Took
me far away from home
I
have lost so many loved ones
So
much sorrow, I have known.
I
have used the gift of wisdom
Many
lessons, I did learn
I
have read the Holy Bible
For
its truth, my mind does yearn.
I
have stood within still waters
I
have swam a troubled sea
I
have faced a raging current
As
I felt its pull on me.
I
have known some years of splendor
In
the many years gone by
But
now, I’m old and feeble
And
I’m not afraid to die.
I
have lived a life of challenge
I’ve
been tempted, turned and tossed
But
a Lighthouse beckons to me
I
have one more bridge to cross.
