To My Loved OnesMy journey starts with

A soft voice calling me into the night.I am lifted up and drawn toward a beautiful light.

I am leaving my family, friendsAnd all other earthly things.I am like a bird going toward

the heavens, trying out my new wings.But as I soar upward everything becomes so clear.

Special arms are wrapped Around me removing all my fears.

I am a falcon climbing high over the trees, lakes and land.

A special love is gently leading me,taking me by the hand.

I have wings.I go higher and higher into the deep blue of the sky.

But I am leaving youAnd I wonder – Why me? Oh, God. Why?

I fly like an eagle or hawk but I am more like a dove.For as I am leaving you all far away,

That same voice is promising I’ll see you some day.I leave you with so very much regret,But please do not grieve for me yet,

For my soul and spirit are finally free.I go at peace into eternity.

Someone CaresGod saw the road was getting rough

And the hills were hard to climb.He gently closed your loving eyes,And whispered “Peace Be Thine”

The weary hours and days of pain,The sleepless nights are past.

The every patient, worn out frameHas found sweet rest at last.

God saw that you were getting wearySo he did what He knew best.He came and stood beside you

And whispered “Come and Rest”.You bid no one a last farewell,

Not even a good-bye.You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knows why.
