(Dedicated to all who attended St. Joseph School)
There’s a place beyond a hill,
It’s a place where time is still.
There we dream, but part no more,
When we reach the other shore.
There’s a time to give your heart,
There’s a time when all must part.
As we reap, there we shall sow,
And so the time for letting go.
Love waits there - the other side,
To meet your light as you arrive.
With open arms to take you in.
Here we end, there we begin!
You must go and I must stay.
Set your course and sail away.
Send a smile across the tide,
When you reach the other side!
Cast your journey toward the sun.
A brand new day has now begun.
Wave to me as you depart,
I’ll keep you safe within my heart.
We cannot hold the hands of time.
They are not yours, they are not mine!
Dwell not on pages left unread,
Or count the words we left un-said.
Count the laughter, not the tears.
Count the moments, not the years.
There’s a time to part no more,
When we reach the other shore.
I’ll meet you on the other shore.
