Pressing Onward

 

Pressing onward to th' eternal portals;

    Besiegéd "mortals;"

        Struggling with life;

Reaching out for that to which their soul may cling.

A moment of pleasure,

    A moment of pain,

        A moment of purpose;

And then—to wing!

    And all we ever were

        Is in the hands of God.

 

David Morsey
