AUNT JEANETTE

TODAY MARKS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF
MY BEAUTIFUL AUNT JEANETTE.

Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect Joy and Beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder why I so calmly
Walk the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus’ love illuminated
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dead?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Fathers Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now while life remaineth- 
You shale rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed, 
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
