John 14:2 NKJV

"His Journey's Just Begun"

Don't think of him as gone away

his journey's just begun

Life holds so many facets

This earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no day and no years.

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched.

For nothing loved is ever lost

and he was loved so much.
