There's a place I've never seen beyond this world we know -
A place I've only heard of, but someday have to go.
It's not on any map. There are no roads to take you there,
but it's a place of perfect peace, where hearts are free from care.
And, though I understand some may be saddened when I leave.
One day we all will meet again. That's what I believe.....
When it's time to travel there, I think I'll wear a smile.
I'll say goodbye to those I love, but only for a while.
Knowing there are others who have traveled there alone,
who cannot wait to greet me and to whisper "Welcome home!"
