ON THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY

On this side of eternity
Is the ledge of infinity
All men stand there ready to jump
As soon as the heart stops to pump

On this side of eternity
Things remain a mystery
So in our sojourn and travels
We just hope that some unravels

On this side of eternity
We walk with propriety
Selfishly strolling by and by
Not seeing other people cry

On this side of eternity
We amass and gather plenty
In our treasure hunt it is found
Then it all goes back to the ground

On this side of eternity
Many live in reality
Feasting in the pleasures of now
Forgetting they will take a bow

On this side of eternity
We forget friends and family
Little wonder on our death beds
We regret and for their time, beg

On this side of eternity
Most seem least preparatory
When we’ll stand before the Divine
And watch our lives like it’s a cine

On this side of eternity
We always think time is waiting
Each second draws us to our grave
So make use of each time you crave
