It's hard to lose someone
That we have held dear,
But we have to have faith
That they always are here.
They're in our hearts and minds;
That can't be taken away,
No one has that power
There they will stay.
There's something that's better
And although they can't be near,
They are somewhere more loving,
Much more peaceful than here.
A place where their troubles
Will seem far removed,
Where there won't be any pain
And their souls will be soothed.
The ones that are left here--
Those of us who remain,
We are the ones
Who are feeling that pain.
We need to remember
That it's better there
They're living with God
Where they haven't a care.
