The Home Beyond
by Helen Steiner Rice

We feel so sad when those we love
Are called to live in the home above,
But why should we grieve
when they say good-bye
And go to dwell in a cloudless sky?
For they have but gone to prepare the way,
And we'll meet them again some happy day,
For God has told us that nothing can sever
A life He created to live forever.
So let God's promise soften our sorrow
And give us new strength for a brighter tomorrow.
