Road to Eternity 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. But when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward. And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.
