Heaven's Shore

In memory of my brother, David Franzel
December 25, 1931 - December 11, 2011

Our loved one has gone and we see him no more,
But rest in the knowledge he's reached Heaven's shore...
Where sorrow and pain no longer have sway,
Where the Son always shines and there is no "grey".

He rests in the arms of our Savior and Lord.
He ran a good race and now has reward.
If he could speak, he would say, "Do not grieve.
I've just been 'promoted'! You cannot perceive...

"How entering into Eternity's gate
Is far and beyond any earthly 'state'.
All are rejoicing, for there is no night.
My new home is glorious and filled with God's light."
