In Memory of My Grandfather, William O. Jones

Oh, my loved ones, please, don't cry
Tears of bitterness and sorrow;
I leave you with no sad 'goodbye'
Nor a hopeless tomorrow.
Though I weep that I must leave you,
Know I'll always be close at heart-
Hold strong to my love all day through
And we'll ne'er be truly apart.

Take solace that I now rest
In our Heavenly Father's arms,
Forever at peace, loved, and blessed,
Nevermore to face pain or harm.

Cherish my smiles and laughter
And dwell not on the pain of today
Because in this world after,
I shall wait for the glorious day
When God calls all His children home
And we, again, are face to face,
No more to live lost and alone,
But forever in the Lord's embrace!
