Beyond The Sunset

The sun sets---another day is gone
And I sometimes wonder what lies beyond
      The sunset
Mom and Dad what is it like for you---
I,ve heard that there is so much to do.
I,ve heard that you walk down streets of gold
And that God is just awesome to behold---
That you have a beautiful mansion
      Beyond the sunset.
And the past and the strife you just forget.
How did it feel when you reached the land
Where you finally met the Lord?
Were you filled with wonder as you took His hand?
Did you praise Him for this reward?
What do you do all day?
Do you pray?
      Beyond the sunset?
How was it to see all of your family---
Did you feel elated and filled with glee?
Are you waiting up there with arms opened wide---
Will you be greeting me on the other side---
      Beyond the sunset?
