The Homegoing

God has a purpose that none of us knows.
Why time here ends and to Him we must go.
We'll just speak of good times with you we had.
Heaven send offs are joyful and not meant to be sad.

Give our best to those who left us before you.
Say hello to them for us and that we love them too.
At this moment we all miss you and yes some will cry.
We have all gathered in love here to bid you goodbye.

Next we will share stories remembering your ways.
We'll record your years in stone and place it at your grave.
