If tears could build
a stairway,
And memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven,
To bring you home again.
No farewell
words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My
heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
You
and angels around,
Gods happy throne.
I would have held you closer
if I had known
Don't Think I Do Not Grieve
Don't think I do not feel;
because you see no tears.
A river rages deep inside
of grief, and loss, and fears.
Just because I do not cry now,
don't think my heart's not broken.
I keep inside the misery
of words not to be spoken.
Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke,
so you won't see the pain;
or notice how my hands will shake,
or how I've gone insane.
Each time I chance to think of her,
my heart is ripped asunder.
The loss I feel is mine alone.
you will not see my thunder.

Home ~
I am home in Heaven dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright.
There is perfect joy and beauty,
In this ever lasting light.
All
the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing past.
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did
you wonder why I so calmly,
Trod the valley of the shade?
Ah! but Jesus' love illumined,
Every dark and fearful glade.
And
He came Himself to meet me,
In that way so hard to tread.
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have no doubt or dread?
Then
you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust the Father's will.
There
is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand.
Do it now while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When
that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home.
Oh the rapture of that meeting,
Oh the joy to see you come.
God
Sprinkled Stardust
through the heavens
to light our way back Home
