His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
rejoice in The Good Lords Loving Arms. Stand down, you mission is complete. RIP. God Bless and may His Loving Grace comfort those left behind.
You will never be forgotton, thank you.
