Bones In the Earth

Bound to this Planet and Bound to this Flesh Bones in the earth with every Step Steps Long Taken and Steps yet to Come Bones in the Earth One by One And what lies Beneath also scatters the Surface which brings to Mind the Question of Purpose To Live and Die need Reasons why And so I look beyond the Sky Beyond the Earth and all I see a Greater Reason there must be Then, in the Air, across the Wind I feel this message that They send... Spirits... ever Waiting, Watching Calling to those who've Long Forgotten The One Whose Steps left Deepest Impression Whose Bones lie not in this Earth, but in Heaven So Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust Bound by Flesh in God we Trust to lift the Spirit from the Bones and Guide us to the Great Unknown While now we Walk this place called Home ever trying to Atone for the Fact that we are Bound to this Planet and Bound to this Flesh Bones in the Earth with every Step -Mortality is Fatal... Eternity doesn't have to be

WOW< for me this is one of your VERY best, Chris. A shame that only I and one other person have responded to this one. It's really good. I often think of this and am so amazed that people cannot believe there is life after death.
