LIFE IS ETERNAL
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning
breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and
watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of
white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to
mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: "There! She's gone."Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was
when she left my side, and just as able to bear her
load of living freight to the place of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her; and just at the
moment when someone at my side says, "There!
She's gone," there are other eyes watching her
coming, and other voices ready to take up the
glad shout, "There she comes!"Marian Heath
