The Narrow Way

Carry on I heard you say.
Carry on your rugged and rough way.
Carry on and try never to go astray
For the reward of him who stays is great.
Carry on my child,
Carry on the narrow way!

It is not the time to break down,
I heard you say.
Fight the demons always
They will eventually go away.
Break down now?
No never!
The hills are visible in the distance far away
Keep on striving and you will get there.
It is not the time to break down
Not when you are so near.

Do not forget I heard you say.
That a reward is at the end
For those who stay on the narrow way.
Do not forget the peace that awaits you there
Nor the joys that you will share.
In the paradise that draws near,
Your blessings will be great.

 Dedicated to the man who let me call him Grandpa for most of my life. He lived an admirable life and now I am sure that he is in paradise. May his soul find eternal peace. Love always, Rose V
