Past, Present, Future

He struggled so for many days And even years in many ways. Sometimes it all became a haze, Until life seemed just a chore And so, it ends; he breathes no more. But I know he smiled at heaven's door. Sometimes I hear him laugh and turn to see But he's not there it's only me Remembering how things used to be. Did I say I love you enough, did you know? I wish I'd said it more before you had to go. Every day I think of you, I loved you so. But I'll dream of you on streets of gold Talking with friends new and old, And your joy when Jesus you behold! Oh, how we try to plan, To be prepared if we can And all because we are human. In a moment we join the heavenly hosts And find ourselves on Jordan's Coast, Meeting the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He is healed now; I know that's true. There is no pain beyond the blue, And i will go there one day too. For now, I rejoice with happy tears That we could share so many years, And I face the future absent of fears.
