Dear loved ones lift your spirits, and take a peek up here.
One glimpse will soothe your sorrow, for my new home will appear.
You'll see this land of promise, which we often talked about,
Ifs grandeur is far greater than we dreamed, without a doubt.
I expected golden pathways, mansions fair and gates of pearls.
But this place exceeds the visions I beheld while in that world.
Ijook with love andfind great comfort as you gac^ beyond the veil;
Dill your hearts with joy andjoin me in Gods presence.
Where I dwell
What a thrill to be here dancing in the midst of Heaven's throng.
See me mingling with the angels singing praise and worship songs.
Though you miss me I'm not distant; I still have my sights on you,
Ijust crossed into forever where I have a better view.
Keep good memories to console you, but let grief and mourning go;
Smile dear loved ones, I'm in Heaven, living in God's Gracious Glow.
