When day is done, a figure turns and says a last goodbye, Although they cannot understand that they must go, or why. But as they leave our sorrow and our sad tears far behind, They move ahead to seek the peace that every soul must find. For now they sail a different ship upon a different sea, A voyage filled with love and hope and new discovery. And may the journey bring them to that distant lighted shore, They'll be greeted by the outstretched arms of those who've gone before. And people they have known and loved and voices from the past, Will be singing out the welcome news that they are home at last.
