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
