I went to your house
Your home is so lovely
filled with love, peace, and joy
I expected to hear your wonderful laugh
I hoped to feel your warm embrace
But you weren’t there
I sat in the pew
Tears ran down my face
I looked at the box in front of the church
your picture, your smile, and the flowers
But you weren’t there
Words and songs rose for you
Prayers were uttered for those who love you
But you weren’t there
Your memory fills my mind
I know you’re not there
You went to your lovely Home
filled with Love, Peace, and Joy
I’ll see you again one day
I’ll hear your laugh
I’ll feel your warm hug
You are there
