Perhaps
if we could see
the
splendour of the land
to
which our loved ones are
called
from you and me
We’d
understand.
Perhaps
if we could hear
the
welcome they receive
from
old familiar voices
all
so dear
we
would not grieve.
Perhaps
if we could know
the
reason why they went
we’d
smile – and wipe away
the
tears that flow
we’d
wait content.
Just
a prayer from the family
who
loved you,
just
a memory fond and true,
in
our hearts you will live forever,
because we thought the world of you.
