For the Rest of Their Lives

Those that belong to God go to a much better place For such as these - there’s always plenty of space. Those that depart from us do not have regret For such as these are blessed - lest we forget. Those that are heaven-bound shall rest in peace For such as these shall never truly decease. Let not the tears confuse nor the fears disabuse For such as these are the obtuse - with denial profuse. Let not your dirge disturb the peace of the Divine sojourn For such as these are in Christ reborn…you vainly mourn. Let not your hearts dispute the souls that The Lord revives For such as these journey to find the ‘rest’ of their lives. Those that grieve must have faith and believe For such as these; the key to Paradise will receive. Those left behind must trust in the Lord - the One Great For such as these will find that their dear departed await. Those that remain strong, will surely see things through For such are the children of God - just like me and you!
