JUST GONE

My heart is sad and so full of woe,
To think of our loved ones who go

Mortals can be here today
All too soon to slip away

Some lives are short; some are long
Some lived right, some lived wrong

All souls here, for lessons to learn
I look, I search, I seek, I yearn

I see them clearly in my mind
A reason for death I try to find

In my heart, there is a jagged hole
Their love I miss, it wounds my soul

To find a reason in my heart
The reason why they must depart

I ponder, are they just gone for now,
Will we someday meet again somehow?

I feel in my heart, that is God’s plan
Please help me God to understand

Of death it’s true; I have no fear
When it comes, and time draws near

I hope I’ve learned my lessons well
In many hearts, I hope to dwell

I dream that when that day does dawn,
Many souls remember, she’s just gone

When I leave this place, when I pass away,
Those gone before, I’ll meet again that day
