Everyday brings new life
And ends another one
One time just beginning
Another time is done
We etch our memories
Into a written past
Where they can linger
Where they will last
Others remember us
By everything we do
And they hold to this
When our time is through
They reminisce upon us
Keeping our memory alive
In this we still exist,
In this, we still thrive
Death is not the end
But, yet, a new beginning
A time to start anew
A time to begin living
Heaven waits for us
Bringing hope to life
There, it will be perfect
Free from any strife
No pain or worry stay
Or abide in any hearts
This is where we begin
Where real living starts.
Goodbye may seem so sad
Yet, the word is so brief
For we’ll be one again
In a place without grief.
Look for me that day
In that meeting in the sky
Where we will be together
In the sweet, sweet by and by
