| The Facts Of Life Come Home To Roost<br/> <br/> When we look back into the past we often want to cry.<br/> We think of someone that we loved, why did they have to die?<br/> And yet, had they survived life for them would have been an ordeal.<br/> Jesus took our loved one home with Him saying I know how you feel!<br/> <br/> Our loved one has a happy home in Heaven, they’re with friends,<br/> And we look forward to being there too when our life down here ends.<br/> Jesus tells us every day when we talk with Him in prayer<br/> That our home in Heaven will be ready to spend Eternity there!<br/> <br/> I often think of my good friends who have already crossed the bar.<br/> Some of them were killed in battle in that dreaded thing called war.<br/> They were much too young to die it’s true but they made the sacrifice.<br/> Hero’s all they’re settled now in Heaven where they’re treated nice!<br/> <br/> The older I get the faster it seems that the time on earth goes by.<br/> I’m sure that most folks including me are in no hurry to die.<br/> We have some things we want to do, we worked on them today.<br/> The clock keeps ticking all the while and soon it’s another day!<br/> <br/> We hear a lot about Heaven and we’re sure we want to go,<br/> But most of us are happy with our life now and with the status-quo.<br/> We’re in no big hurry to make the change, a big one it will be,<br/> But most of us old folks know it won’t be long ‘til Jesus we will see!<br/> <br/> We give thanks to God each day for the life on earth we’ve led.<br/> Jesus has made sure that we were well supplied with our daily bread.<br/> Be sure you are well prepared to face death as life draws to a close.<br/> We don’t know when that will happen, for that only Jesus knows!<br/> <br/>                                                         Copyright                  2012<br/> <br/>                                                          Jacob Nathaniel Shepherd <br/><br/><br/>
