In Peace

They say you have just a short time

To be with us on this earthly stay

I do not know how to let you go

In peace I know I must not hold you tight

I do not know what I can say

To ease your pain and let you be

But I want to tell you many things

From my heart for you are so much loved

My tears will fall should you be gone

The roads will stay silent without your walking

The sun will shine a little less brightly

The flowers will not show their best blooms

The birds will not sing the best melodies

The music will not be as sweet as could be

How my heart will be broken though I know

You’ll be free from the burden you’ve carried

We will be fine though we will miss you so

Until some day when again we’ll see you

Angels are with you I just know

And heaven will welcome you with trumpets and songs

You will enter a new world with no pain

For God is holding you in the palm of His Hand.
