  Life is a Journey

 

  Birth is a beginning

  And death a destination

  And life is a journey:

  From childhood to maturity

  And youth to age;  

  From innocence to awareness

  And ignorance to knowing;

  From foolishness to discretion

  And then perhaps to wisdom.

  From weakness to strength or
  From strength to weakness
  And often back again; 
  From health to sickness, 
  And we pray to health again. 
  From offence to forgiveness, 
  From loneliness to love, 
  From joy to gratitude, 
  From pain to compassion, 
  From grief to understanding, 
  From fear to faith. 
  From defeat to defeat to defeat
  Until, not looking backwards or ahead, 
  We see that victory lies not
  At some high point along the way
  But in having made the journey
  Step by step, 
  A sacred pilgrimage. 
  Birth is a beginning
  And death a destination
  And life is a journey.
