The Everlasting Light
Those we Love must
someday pass
beyond our present sight...
Must leave us & the world
we know
without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle,
their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place
more perfect... more divine
And in the realm of heaven
where they shine so warm
and bright,
our Loved ones live forevermore
in God's Eternal Light.
