Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen unheard but always there
Still loved still missed everywhere
And the Lord's promise is
He that followeth me
Shall not walk in darkness
But shall have the light of life
The lord is our light
To banish the darkness
To make bright our path
Through Life
And to lead us to the light of eternal glory
Eternal life is in that
Home on high
Unharmed upon the eternal rock
The eternal city stands
And one day we'll all meet again
In a beautiful garden
Of sunshine.
Also Remembering All other miners And all the armed forces The men and women Who gave their lives For their Country So we could all live in peace.
