If Only We Could See
If only we could see the splendor of the land
To which our loved ones are called
From you and me –
We’d understand
If only we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear –
We could not grieve
If only we could know the reason why they went
We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow –
And wait content.
