Life was getting darker It was getting hard to breathe So the good Lord came and said "My child, it’s time to leave" He left this world of sorrow and pain He loved us, but he could not stay He went on to a better place On to a brighter day He went to his Heavenly home And was crowned with many crowns He was with those who came before There were smiles and hugs all around He had served the Lord well And all that love him know That he is in a better place But we’re still sad he had to go A brigher day than we can know Us, the inhabitants of Earth But he's in the wonderful light He's gone through a rebirth He'll never work another day He's in an eternal rest He won't have to settle for anything He only has the best He is listening to the angel's sing And he joins in their song His voice fits right in As he sings along He'll worry no more, or have any pain All he knows is love And when the stars shine, I think of him Smiling at me from above It's been nearly eleven years Since my Paw-Paw went away There is sadness still, but more joy Because he’s in a brighter day It's been a long time since my Grandfather passed away, but I still think about him. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." ~Revelation 21:4 "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" |

Such a nice tribute to PawPaw! Yes, knowing our Lord makes a tremendous difference in how we look at things, and isn"t it great to know about that better place? Just think one day we'll all meet there. |

What a tribute! Yes, to be at rest from the wiles of the world. It is a much better place to be! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Your poem really touched me. My father died almost three years ago, and I am still sad about it. My only consolation is that he is now in heaven and is waiting for me to join him. Thank you so much for having the courage to write such a beautiful piece. *~Meredith~* |
