HEAVEN'S LIGHT
We're born, we grow, we learn, we know
"Tis our dear Lord that makes it so.
We learn many things to help us live.
We learn to take, we learn to give.
And when our time to leave is nigh,
We also need to learn to die.
To live, to love, to laugh, to cry,
But now it's time to say good-by.
The flames within that burned so bright,
Now fade into eternal night.
Our souls awake in heaven's light,
Where there is no pain or wars to fight.
Dedicated to my parents, Chester Ralph
Middleton and Vinna Lou Lambert - Middleton,
and to the two greatest joys of my life: my
wife, Greta and my daughter, Stephanie.
