It can be hard
To celebrate
When your loved ones arrive
At the pearly gates

As your life
And your journey ends
Your body fades
And your soul transcends

Beyond the limits
Of space and time
You will receive the wisdom
Of the light divine

Like the masters
Who have solved the mystery
Confounding sages
All throughout history

The wise ones know
What lies between
The hidden spaces
The parts unseen

You will come to know
All that you are
The infinite light
Of a thousand stars

No longer will you
Wear the veil
As your body fades
Becoming frail

Your family and friends
Will all be there
As your journey ends
You’re in our care

We will be with you
Allow us to guide
Through the unknown spaces
As you open wide

Into the fathomless
Depths of the deep
We are grateful you left
In a peaceful sleep

We love you so much
It’s been hard to bear
The loss of your presence
You were always there

Watching over us
And creating a home
With you gone
We feel so alone

You were a compass
A guide in the dark
So that we could see
When we’re missing the mark

You were a guiding light
An inspiration for us all
And with you gone
It’s like we’ve lost it all

But deep down we know
That your spirit’s still there
In the wind in the trees
And the breeze in our hair

We’re grateful for
The foundation you’ve created
And now we have the space
To get activated

As we walk through the fires
Of transformation
We look back on your life
With love and elation

You worked so hard
To serve us all
And we can see
Through the tears that we bawl

The beautiful life
That you have created
Supporting us all
We’re glad that you waited

Before you chose
To let your body go
So that we could be with you
To let you know

How much we love you
How much we care
Know that we are with you
And always there

And even though
It hurts that you’re gone
When the show is over
And the curtains are drawn

We’ll come together
And celebrate
The beautiful journey
That you chose to take

We will always love you
Even though you’ve transcended
We’re creating the space
For our hearts to be mended

So that we can know
The eternal space
And allow ourselves
To heal with grace
