THE ROAD YOU TRAVELLED
When you arrive
the place of your rest,
may the memories
of the road you travelled
not vanish into thin air
as soon as you find
some shade off the sun.

Remember
the rough paths
your feet walked.
First,
so you can adorn your being
with a disposition
of thanksgiving
to the God of all grace,
without Whom
there'd be no light
at the end of any dark tunnel.

Then
you must call to mind
those who now suffer
the same things you suffered,
to whom you should be
of invaluable help,
to alleviate their plights
and stand
as a source of comfort,
and hope
for the days of rest
they earnestly long for.
