MESSAGE FROM BEYOND! SAFELY HOME

Whilst sorting through my picture albums I decided to take out some of the pictures to put with others of a more similar nature. On taking out one of the photos I found this poem behind it!

I am home in heaven, dear ones,
Oh so happy, and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief are over!
All the short, dark struggle past;
I am now at peace for ever,
Safely home in heaven at last.

Do you shudder at yon' picture?
All the horrors of that hour!
Ah! but Jesus was beside me,
To sustain me by His power.

And He came Himself to meet me,
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesu's arms to cling to,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work stil waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth;
You shall rest in Jesu's land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh the rapture of the meeting!
Oh the joy to see you come!
