A Morning in Paradise
Someday, when our work on earth is done,
When we depart this realm, our days all gone,
When memories and kindness fade away,
And we have soared beyond the mortal fray—
A new realm will unfold before our eyes,
For those who held their faith and stayed wise,
Who planted seeds with honor, steady grace,
Who walked their path with purpose, face to face.
A realm unlike the fleeting life we’ve known,
Where love and peace in endless light have grown,
A life of purity, a life of trust,
Built on the faith we nurtured in the dust.
There we shall live, perhaps return again,
If fate and grace allow that hopeful ken—
A morning we must never jeopardize,
A radiant dawn in paradise.
