HEAVENLY PEACE
AS I LIE IN BED
AWAITING SLEEP
I THINK OF PROMISES
TO KEEP
I PRAY FOR LOVED ONES
LONG DESEASED
AND THOSE WHO RECENTLY
HAVE FOUND THEIR PEACE
I PONDER HEAVEN
MY EARTHLY GOAL
I PRAY ALL MY FAMILY
IS ON THE ROLL
IS ATTENDANCE CALLED THERE
NIGHT AND DAY
ARE THE STREETS ALL GOLD?
OR ARE THEY CLAY?
DO THE HEAVENLY HOSTS
SING PERPETUALLY?
DOES GRASS GROW THICK
‘NEATH SHADY TREES?
DOES MY SON SMILE AT ME
FROM HEAVEN ABOVE?
CAN HE SEE MY HEART ACHES
WITH FATHERLY LOVE?
IS HE ALLOWED TO LISTEN
AS I PRAY HE’S AT PEACE?
DOES HE SMILE IN SUPPORT
AS MY TEARS INCREASE?
I KNOW THERE’S A HEAVEN
I BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE
I PRAY TO LIVE THERE WITH FAMILY
WHEN THIS LIFE IS THROUGH
