Today’s word is “vale” ... the world, or mortal or earthly life. (Dictionary.com)
Shadow
When we walk from this side to the other,
From this vale, then in through heaven’s gate,
And turn and look at where it was we lived and toiled,
What will we think of our eternal state?
And more than this, what new observations,
Will amaze our minds and convict our hearts,
As we see how we had affected others,
By the words and actions of our chosen parts?
Will we see that desire was our golden guide?
That by wealth or greed or power we found our way?
Or will we see, though we were human and so feeble,
That love alone was our hope and stay?
