When I Heard He Died
by: Eric Persinger

When I heard he died it really hit me hard.
I just had to send you this sympathy card.

I share your pain and your grief.
I know he will visit the heavenly chief.

You will be blessed even though you are sad.
Dead is natural and it's not always bad.

My prayers go out to you the family and his friends.
Remember, after death a persons life goes on.
Just because he's dead he's not gone.

All you have to do is think of him always.
Also, appreciate the way he lived his days.

Remember, God doesn't always tell you why.
But also remember that his spirit is close by.
