A Better Place

She’s in a better place right now

Than she’s ever been before;

All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;

Nothing troubles her anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of

Our sadness and our grief;

We have to cry, to mourn our loss,

Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with her

At the end of each life’s road;

We’ll see her cherished face again

When we release our earthly load.
