To Your Journey's End
(Prayers for Your Children)
I do not know the path you take,
No more than I know mine.
I know not if our time be long.
'Tis all in His design.
But, if you live a long, full, life
(That's my desire for you),
I know One Who'll not let you down;
No matter what you do.
I've done my best to teach you
Since the first young understanding.
I just would give one promise that
I make without demanding.
I promise prayers for you, each night.
Seems only right to me,
Since I brought you into the world
To show and speak what is to be.
So, to your journey's end I speak
(Each day, throughout the year)
That you will know my prayers are present
On every mountain peak. Don't fear.
And when the 'valleys low' press down,
My prayers are nestled there;
Fragrant with a mother's love,
Fresh as the mountain air ...
Right to your journey's end.
(But say, He could call me away.)
I'll still keep constantly in prayer,
Forever and a day.
I can't imagine Heaven
Without your sweet, sweet, face
Or one eternal day without
Your presence in that place!
