TOGETHER AGAIN
A reunion occurred in heaven this week
Of the sweetest and most joyful kind
As Dad's spirit moved beyond this earth
Released from his mortal life
And what a reunion it must have been!
A joy beyond our conceiving
When Dad met Mom in heaven again
Ending his dignified grieving
And we are certain Dad is till holding Mom's hand
While he cherished each moment by her side
And they're experiencing the joy of being together again
Catching up on the time they were denied
We are confident they are also looking over us
Hoping this happiness will lessen our pain
As we contemplate the joy that they finally feel
Now that they are together again
And though we'll miss them terribly
And will long for them with deepest grief
We are reminded that love is more powerful than death
And this knowledge gives us comfort and peace
We can still feel their love surround us
Giving us a desire to continue on
To try our best to live our lives well
In the ways they would have done
For we know this isn't the only reunion
Someday we'll be called back to be with them
For life can lead us to greater happiness
With God and our loved ones in heaven
So although we'll miss him profoundly
Our grief is somewhat lessened
For we are comforted knowing that he led a good life
And he and Mom are now together in heaven!
