It was just a couple of days ago that we went for a drive. We went up country to do a purchase and in the process saw some lovely countryside that we had not seen before. And for the event we did have some lovely driving weather and so it all went well.
When we arrived at one of the points of interest we found ourselves looking at some billboards that told us of the history of the place. There were pictures that showed us people who lived a long time ago. It showed people who were in the best of health and young, but we all know that people do not live forever and so they were not there today.
And yet for those people the times in which they lived were real. The day to day living was real. Their dreams and hopes were real. But for them time would win in the end and so they would be laid to rest at what would be their final resting place. And so there we were taking in the history of the place. And yes, at this place we were also taking in a waterfall. You will find more about that in the poem.
So what is the point of all this. Time does not stand still. People come and go. People who had dreams had some of them come to realization and other did not happen. But they did live and they did die. But what now? What now of the future? For that there can be only one answer. And that being that we look up to the one who made all things and who alone can give hope. And as time goes by and we all get older and lay to rest those who have passed away, then how we all need that hope, that wonderful hope of the soon return of the one who put all things into place. And when that takes place sin and sadness will be no more. May that day come soon.
