Perfect Peace
The unknown stretches like an ocean
far beyond our view,
But we can visualize that distant shore-
A paradise of perfect peace
where skies are always blue
A place where we won't worry any more,
And how we wish that those we love
could some how find a way
To let us know they've made it safely there,
So we can let them go
and know they really are okay
Receiving all the love we send in prayer.
