The Shift

It's too easily stolen,

Life is a precious gift,

So valuable and so golden.

Why then can such a shift, 

A shift so big and important,

Be so fast?

It seems so cruel.

Death is just not fair,

With life it has its duel.

But why do we have to bear,

Such a shift so big and important,

And so fast?

It's all a part of His plan.

Our Father in Heaven is so smart,

Knowing eachof us could stand,

He knew it all from the start,

Of a shift so big and important,

That's so fast.

It' simply the only way,

For us to eternal life.

We will each and every day,

Face some kind of troubling strife,

Before the shift so big and important,

And so fast.
