My home has a room made of love
With a door that won’t open even if I shove.
I can’t get in for I lack the key
But one day it will open quite easily.

The light in the room is clear and bright
That shines by day and dims at night
And the room is warm and full of cheer
For in that room are those most dear.

All those whose love I’ve shared
And those for whom I really cared
Are in that room waiting for me
To one day join them in eternity.

I miss their love, their touch, their smile
And when I think of them, every once in a while,
My heart aches again with the pain of loss
And the wish is strong, the barrier to cross.

I must stay here, for that’s God’s plan
That’s not to be changed by the wish of man.
Stay and work and wait God’s call
To join with them in his Holy Hall.
