The Vision

I saw a ship with beautiful sails on a foggy

winter’s morn; it seemed so peaceful

as it passed by no sound came from it at all.

I stood and watched the beauty as it passed me by the shore, and when I

looked around to see

who was on it;

there it was no more. I stood and wondered

why this vision had come my way, and then God reminded me we must all pass

away some day.

And even though the beauty goes from our sight

the image remains in our hearts and

it remains so bright.

So take some comfort just now and know that for sure, your  pets are safe with God in

His land forever more.
