In the peace beyond
the tears
And be together for
eternity

AT THE END OF HIS LONG LIFE
At the end of his long life
A Godly man passes
into heaven
Where he sits with God
And revues their
Journey again
While he looked back
Sitting at Gods right
hand
He saw it represented
by
Two sets of footprints
in the sand
But he noticed that at
times
There was just one set
When he was at his
lowest
And he was very upset
So he spoke to God and
asked
That in the scene he
was shown
Why at the hardest
times
He walked the path
alone
No my son you are mistaken
At those times God
said
I thought it would be
more fun
If we hopped instead
ONE OF THE TWELVE - DOUBTING THOMAS
One of the twelve
Doubting Thomas
Sometimes called
Didymus the Twin
Or the Apostle of
India
Was a carpenter by
trade
Witness of the
ascension
Who was gently rebuked
After the resurrection
For his scepticism by
Christ
Before exclaiming
"My Lord and My
God,"
Thomas was the only
witness
Of the Assumption
Of Mary into heaven
He then spread the Gospels
Far and wide
But was stabbed to
death
With a spear
While in India
At a place called Calamine
