Death is just another step, along life's changing way,No more than just a gateway to a new and better day.
And parting from our loved ones is much easier to bear,
When we know that they are waiting
for us to join them there.
So death is just a natural thing
like the closing of a door,
As we start upon a journey to a new and distant shore,
And none need make this journey undirected or alone,
For God promised us safe passage to this vast and great unknown.
So let your grief be softened, and yield not to despair,
You have only placed your loved one in the loving Father's care.
