Heaven Bound

Goodbye our dear friend.
We hate to see you leave.
We know where you’re going, 
and that you’ll be relieved.
You’ll experience no more grief,
no more pain, and suffering.
But will be bathed in perfect love, joy and serenity.
Friends and family of days
Gone by, will be there to greet you.
I can see your smile, and feel your bliss as
You gaze upon our good Shephard’s face.
He’ll welcome you home and usher you in. 
Your eternity has started.
I don’t begrudge you going, dear, dear friend.
I applaud you.
But I will miss your presence
In my life greatly.
Till I’m called back home, and
See you again
Goodbye
