Ascension

Warm white rays
Descend from the sky
Flickers of gold light
Sparkle like fireflies

Love and warmth
Overcomes all pain
Relieving him of
His emotional strain

The Angels are calling
They're singing his name
Enticing their son
To come home again

Glancing back
As he ascends
There's no regrets
He's free from sin

Though we are very sad
That you had to go
Knowing you're suffering is over
Cleanses our souls

For someday
We shall meet again
At the gates to heaven
As our souls ascend
