Temporary Home

I was driving down the road and heard a song by Carrie Underwood.
Little affects me the way music does.
When I heard this song, I just began to cry.
This song reminded me that life comes and goes so quickly.
It's here and then gone.
I don't know how I forget this.
Death and war surrounds me.
The Bible makes it very clear.
Yet, somehow, I manage to push the fact from my mind.
Despite devastation... Despite death.
Today I will remember.
"This is my temporary home.
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through.
This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid cuz I know...
This is my temporary home."
