I am so very sorry, Ernest. God Bless Kathy. May you and your family gain strength and comfort from God at this difficult time.
THE SHIP OF LIFE
by John T. Baker
Along the shore I spy a ship As she sets out to sea; She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze And slips away from me.
I watch her fading image shrink, As she moves on and on, Until at last shes but a speck, Then someone says, Shes gone. Gone where? Gone only from our sight And from our farewell cries; That ship will somewhere reappear To other eager eyes.
Beyond the dim horizons rim Resound the welcome drums, And while were crying, There she goes! Theyre shouting, Here she comes!
Were built to cruise for but a while Upon this trackless sea Until one day we sail away Into infinity.
