A visitor from Heaven
If only for awhile
We thank God for the time He gave
Your warm and tender smile
We trust you to the Father’s love
And to His tender care
Held in God’s everlasting arms,
It’s comforting to know You’re there
With breaking hearts and empty hands,
Life will never be the same
It hurts so much to let you go,
But we’re so glad you came.
