"There is no death, the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore
And brighten Heavens jeweled crown
They shine for everyone."
Death is not the end of life
It's a gate that opens wide
To admit a soul to Eternity
Just on the other died.
That gate is neither harsh nor heavy
But gentle, smooth and light,
It gently bids us enter
Then gently closes tight.
Who passes through this gateway
With faith so firm , so staid.
Has bue found life Eternal
Found Heaven, home and God.
