Grieve Not Too Long

Grieve not too long for those departed

Let time heal gnawing pain

Though grief is a part of living

In life, we must remain.

So, try to hold fast to the thought

That all that lives is passing

Yet our Creator bequeathed to us

Spirits everlasting

If a gentle spirit earns

A place within our heart

From now unto forever

It never shall depart

Thus, God has done for thee

What humans cannot do

He's taken what is His to take

Yet you may keep it too!
