I wrote this when the father of a family I knew passed away. It was hard to see a soft quiet godly man die and yet you knew he was going to be with His Lord and Saviour. Sometimes words fail to express what is being felt inside.

Up to Heaven

I knew a man, so strong with silent features
Quite a man
He loved his own so dearly and even me
Quite a man
It’s hard to understand why God led him by the hand
Up to Heaven
But deep inside we know it was a better place to go
Up to Heaven
