As the sun sets to end another day,
I sometimes wonder what lies
Beyond the sunset.
Grandma, what is life like for you
Beyond the sunset?
I’ve heard that you can walk down
The streets of gold
To your beautiful mansion…
How does it feel to walk on gold?
What does your mansion look like?
Do you have a swing to sit on-
Where you, Grandpa, Betty, and Cub
Can sit down and talk about the good ole’ days?
Grandma, what is life like for you
Beyond the sunset?
What do you do all day?
How did you feel when you met Jesus?
Were you nervous?
Were you filled with joy and wonder as you took His hand?
How was it to see all of your family?
Did you remember them?
Did they remember you?
Grandma, what is life like for you
Beyond the sunset?
Are there books in your mansion?
Are there puzzles for you to complete?
You always loved to read…and
You always enjoyed putting puzzles together.
Grandma, what is life like for you
Beyond the sunset?
Can you see me…do you remember me?
Can you see me working in a place
You also worked in?
I pull those all-nighters, too…just like you!
Can you see me all grown up?
I graduated from college and now, I have a job!
Are you proud of me?
Have I lived up to your expectations?
Grandma, what is life like for you
Beyond the sunset?
I know as the sun sets to end my day,
The sun still shines where you are.
What is it like to be in the sun all day?
Grandma, I know life is far better for you
Beyond the sunset!
When I think of you in Heaven,
A smile comes across my face
At the thought that you are happy, healthy, and whole.
But the peace of knowing that you are safe and secure
Can’t ease all of my pain and sadness.
I want to see you…to hug you…to hear your stories.
But I know, Grandma, I must stay here to finish my journey, right?
One day, I will see you again…
And what a happy day that will be
Beyond the sunset.
