A Good Man Gone Home
We lost our good soldier today
He was a fighter to the end.
He was alone but not alone
For angels, men like him attend.
God gave to him a quiet going,
A peaceful passage on.
To sleep awhile a dreamless sleep.
And for a little space be gone.
But in the universe we're told
That nothing good is really lost,
For He who spun the cosmos out.
Paid the restoration cost.
He's caught a ride, gone on ahead.
And left us all to follow on behind,
To work our own salvation out and then
To catch him up at the terminus of time
We did not lose our soldier after all,
He's merely left behind the pain
Resting till the world winds down and we,
All meet up with him again.
