Heaven's Shores

His faith was solid, deep and strong Held a Divinity degree But watching as his wife held on Was difficult and hard to believe With her, in Christ, his life was filled With joyousness throughout the years Their deep, abiding love was built Through faith the soul will reappear Now, as her flesh begins to fail His wife unconscious, on the verge Of casting off her mortal shell A creeping doubt starts to emerge Despite his belief, his human eyes Have seen but one side of God's plan An unfamiliar paradise Is very hard to comprehend And so he prays for miracles Another chance to hold his bride But, as regards the spiritual There is but One who shall decide And if it is her time to leave We pray our friend will soon rejoice In what he sees beyond the grief His wife, at peace, on Heaven's shores
