Poems by Joseph Anderson : 92 / 95
When Eternity Calls
The time shall come for you, for all
When we shall take our final rest,
And we should face that final call,
If we lived our lives, as blest.
Did we search for truth each day?
Could we laugh and shed a tear?
Were there friends along the way?
Did we have and conquer fear?
Did we wrestle earthly greeds
And cross each bridge whereas it stood?
Did we fill some others needs
And smell sweet flowers in the woods?
Was there someone we could love,
Who returned it every day?
Did the wondrous power above,
Lend us courage, on the way?
When our turn has come to go
And life's joys and woes then cease;
We should then most surely know,
We will have eternal peace.

Spectacular! i gave it a 10, and not because everyone else also did! Why are all the best poems about death? Because they make Death a very real thing while you are reading it...it makes you face your mortality for once!
I hope to have eternal peace when eternity calls me in. Brilliant.
Very poignant and thought-provoking. Full of inspiration for all - even consolation for the bereaved. Simply uplifting for the soul.
Very, very good Joseph, you always share your soul-felt visions with us so splendidly. Thank you for the bit of hope and peace you've here given, I needed that. Peace to you my friend.
These questions, we have to answer during our final call; they are also questions, we have to ask ourselves very often in life! Philosophic ponderings from a great mind!
Stunning write Joseph, much wisdom here, and a great deal to think about.
