As life’s journey finds its close,
With every high and every low,
A final breath, a last heartbeat,
The soul's departure.
In the realms beyond this place,
Where time transcends and meets with grace,
Eternal truths, we contemplate,
In heaven’s echoes.
The candle’s flame begins to wane,
Yet love’s bright light will still remain,
In every heart where memories sate,
A silent vow.
As friends and family gather near,
To honor one they hold so dear,
In whispered prayers and voices faint,
Their hearts repeat.
Through gates of pearl and streets of gold,
The stories of our lives retold,
In endless peace, in joy innate,
We find our rest.
The journey ends, yet still it goes,
In the love and light that life bestows,
In every soul, in every state,
The final truth.
