Some lives are long
Sending deep roots
Spreading forth mighty branches
Providing shade and shelter
While reaching for the sun
Others are quick
Blazing across the sky
Like a shooting star
Leaving a glowing trail of glory
But neither is more significant than the other
For each leaves their mark
On a world that will never be the same
Return home, dear cousin
And find there's the embrace
Of those gone before
And find in welcoming arms
The peace and rest
Of the Lord
Sending deep roots
Spreading forth mighty branches
Providing shade and shelter
While reaching for the sun
Others are quick
Blazing across the sky
Like a shooting star
Leaving a glowing trail of glory
But neither is more significant than the other
For each leaves their mark
On a world that will never be the same
Return home, dear cousin
And find there's the embrace
Of those gone before
And find in welcoming arms
The peace and rest
Of the Lord
