The World Of Eternal Light We travel the River of Life, day by day, And its turns can bring many changes our way, But what may appear as the final bend Is just the beginning instead of the end - For beyond it, there lies still another land Where your loved one, directed by God's own hand, Lives on, although physically out of sight, At peace in a world of eternal light.
