Until We Meet Again Do not weep too long beside me, Heaven has called me home. I rest now in God's gentle keeping,
But you are never alone. I see you when you gather, When the grandbabies laugh and play. Love each other the way I taught you—
That is how I stay. Look for my blue eyes in the heavens, Shining soft and bright above. We will meet again, my family, Hold fast to faith and love.
