(For my precious friend who is hands-reach from heaven…fly free, beautiful girl…)
I’m standing at the precipice
Where hither touches yon
Upon the cliff where I will jump
Into the great beyond.
Where my now will meet forever
And the mystery unfolds
Eternity – Reality
The new exchanged for old.
Don’t be afraid to let me jump
Remember, I have wings
To soar above the dark crevasse
Beyond death’s ugly sting.
Standing here I get a glimpse
Of what awaits for me
The colors bright, the music sweet
Perfection wild and free.
I can almost hear the singing
The angels have rehearsed
Harmony like none before
Through each familiar verse.
I smell the lovely fragrance
Of life in fullest form
I feel the sweet embraces
Of saints so soft and warm.
I sense the sweetest whisper
Of the voice I’ve always loved
Wooing me to heaven
To laughter, life and love.
Though to you the cliff seems steep
This precipice too high
I’m emerging from this world’s cocoon
I was born to fly!
And though I go ahead of you
I hope you see in me
That jumping turns to flying
When you’re bound for eternity.
Don’t be afraid to let me go
I’ve seen where I will be
This butterfly has heard the song
The song of the redeemed!
So when you see a butterfly
Know that this is true
I’ve flown to where my Jesus lives
And we’ve saved a place for you…:-)
