Written for my children (Thanksgiveing Day - Nov. 27, l997)..................
Only one soul will soon be past
Only what's done for God will last

 

                          A   HAPPY   DEATH

Death comes to all of us
and it will come to me
Don't grieve for me
for I will happy be
Mary will come to take me home
She was my friend on earth
Her words will be my dear it's time
that you were homeward  bound
There's nothing more for you to do
upon this earth for now
Your children are all grown
There needs have now been met
Your grandchildren, you
have seen them all
They are a precious lot
May you be remembered for your love
and not for what you've left
In heaven you will have a home
There is no money need
Friends and family are waiting
And there you will happy be
Jesus will meet you at the door
He will greet you with a smile
And he will welcome you
In my Father's house
You have come today
And we will share with you
All the good things He provides
For people just like you
