Once Again (for MJ)
once again I felt the emptiness
once again I prayed for comfort
once again, God reminded me
that He brought him back home...
once again.
my young years have experienced much death
my heart has endured much pain
but I wasn't prepared for it
to hurt this deeply once again.
we never know and we cannot guess
when it is our time, our destiny
to lay our earthly bodies down
for lasting, eternal rest.
my heart is so confused and very melancholy
remembering all that he was and is to me
nevertheless, my soul realizes that he
is no longer burdened, depressed, or in misery...
he exists now where angels and birds fly
he can forever dance on an endless blue sky
his spirit is now at a restful peace:
he relaxes with the saints on a lovely royal seat.
the angels, cherubims, and seraphims
rejoice with all the heavenly host
that he is finally back home...
once again.
