Au Revoir
by Roberta Nuzzo
If I am worthy of His love,
He'll take me by the hand
and lead me to my home above,
and before His throne I'll stand.
I'll stand to face tomorrow
for eons of years.
No more toil and sorrow.
No more pain and tears.
Disappointments gone forever,
and so is loss and care.
No separations, ever,
from loved ones over there.
Treasured memories, I shall keep.
Memories of the past,
when on that day I fall asleep,
and be in peace at last.
