Death is a gateway we all must pass through To reach that Fair Land where the souls born anew
For mans born to die and his sojourn on earth Is a short span of years beginning with birth And like pilgrims we wander until death takes our hand And we start on our journey to Gods Promised Land, A place where well find no suffering nor tears Where Time is not counted by days, months or years And in this Fair City that God has prepared
A re unending joys to be happily shared IVith all of our loved ones who patiently wait On Deaths other side to open "The Gate"!
