Condolences and Prayers

A long, long, long, long time ago I met a family Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles And Kids, were dear to me Travels to the mesa Where a precious Penny sweet Had early left the gold drenched lands To her family flown, would meet We'd set some flowers on the grass Where she rests now in sleep Watered with loves tears that all Each tender heart would weep But trusting in a Father, Who would His Daughter keep The years like tides rolled out to sea Earth moved along in flight Continuous orbit round the Sun Throughout life's day and night And one by one, some called to rest Completing toils and earthly test Again the Tears on earthen grass Another dear has come to pass My prayers, my heart, is lifted To the Great and Mighty King To where her family gathers On shores where choirs sing My heartfelt, deep condolence And promise of my prayer That Heavenly Father's Precious Peace Will comfort each with care That hope, and joy, and healing Will be poured out on each one Until the final words of joy of "Welcome child. Well done." He gave us tears, tears to be cried And promises, they'll each be dried Upon the joy and promises On the precious homeward side
