The first of June has come again
For most another day
But you went home six years ago
And here I still stay
I long for you to talk to
To tell me all is well
You never tire of listening
To all the tales that I tell
Heartbreak I know I brought you
Though you’d never let me know
Shortcomings I have a plenty
But you’d say they never show
Many difficulties you faced
And overcame them all
You finished well faithful servant
And responded to His call
While you enjoy sweet Heaven
All of paradise without a care
I pray I teach your grandchildren
The path that leads them there
For Christ alone can soothe this pain
That rears it ugly head
The time is short. The war is won.
The Lord Christ Jesus said.
I’m so thankful that you taught me
And so I’ll see you there
Someday when our work is done
I’ll have years of stories to share
I know you’ll listen lovingly
And show me your heavenly gardens
While we wait I’ll teach what you taught me
To my blessed little darlings
