Mr. Eternity 

In unexpected places,

Footpaths, walls and rocky faces

Scattered miles apart

A lone man walks

And seeks to share his heart.

He writes one word, “Eternity,”

To try and catch our eye,

And give us pause

To stop and think

As we walk by.

Suppose our life was on the brink,

Where would we be

Eternally?

I thank the Lord

For that lone man,

Writing in a copperplate hand,

Writing a message large for me

And every passerby to see,

Point us to God

And “Eternity!”
