There is no death, those gone before,
Have just stepped through an open door.
Just passed into a land unseen, still near,
With just a wall between.
The door may close, the wall conceal,
But nothing's lost that's truly real.
They still are ours, those loved ones all,
They wait for us beyond the wall.
