Poetry by Richard Perry: Someday We’ll Know
Someday We’ll Know
How can I forget you? I don’t know what to say.
There’s no sense in trying; it doesn’t work that way.
We shared such great love, over all those years
Days of joy and laughter; sometimes a few tears.
Challenges would come; we faced them hand in hand
Trusting in God’s promise that we would understand
Not while walking on this earth, but on the day we meet
When before His throne, we’d sit at Jesus’ feet
The music of the angels will fill the heavenly skies
While standing in His presence, tears fill our eyes
Now you know the answers, I’ll just wait and pray
Until we stand side by side on that glorious day
Sharing life eternal as we stand on heaven’s shore
Surrounded by loved ones who have gone before.
Then, with the angel chorus, we will sing God’s praise
And bask in His glory through the never-ending days.
