Wise Men Say

Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies

Wise men say we come again
To live another span
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan

Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law

Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme

Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm

So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again
