In Southview
In Southview, ancestors now sleep
Those who have gone before God keeps
Silent now watch at heaven's gate
Though they've touched elbows with the great
When they see me for joy they'll leap
Left here on earth sometimes I weep
While visiting love ones buried deep
Someday they'll arise up so straight
In Southview
I might be there when Jesus reaps
It could be I'll be with them asleep
Or there to visit and just wait
Hear the blast, see them rise lightweight
Then I'll be snatched with God's sweet sheep
In Southview
Southview is a cemetery where we have a plot and many of our family members are already buried..My father's mother and father were the first graves in the cemetery to be filled..
