From everlasting to everlasting
A concept we cannot grasp
We live in the here and now
At least most of us do
To understand time as never finishing
To understand a life after death, a moment after completion
This is beyond our grasp
A place beyond were we are
Yet that is what we are to understand
That is what we are to come to grips with
Time everlasting, life forever going on
But not life as we now know and understand
For truly, life as we now know it
Is something no one would truly cope with
To see this one has just to focus
On one small part of this life we have
The pain and joy of birth
Growing old, fragility
Failing memories
Hurt hearts and children's pain
Too much time to live
If this was the choice to be made
Yet this is not the everlasting
Of which I freely speak
And to understand it you must have faith
In an unseen God, in a fragile world.
