Beyond the pain we have suffered,
past the grief that we have felt
farther than the eye can see
the land of Rest will forever be.
Beyond the troubles we have faced,
past the worries we have had
farther than the eye can see
the land of Hope will forever be.
Beyond the sadness we have felt,
past the despair we have known
farther than the eye can see
the land of Joy will forever be.
Beyond the burdens we have carried,
past the trials we have met
farther than the eye can see
the land of Love will forever be.
Beyond this very moment,
past this one single day . . .
farther than the eye can see
the land of Peace will forever be.

Revelation 21:4
King James Version
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”

All the things that matter: rest, peace, joy, hope, and love. May they forever be in our hearts and in our homes. Great poem.
