"He has put on invisibility. Dear Lord, we cannot see-- But this we know, although the road ascends And passes from our sight, That there will be no night; That You will take him gently by the hand And lead him on Along the road of life that never ends, And he will find it is not death but dawn. We do not doubt that You are there as here, And You will hold him dear.

Our life did not begin with birth, It is not of the earth; And this that we call death, it is no more Than the opening and closing of a door-- And in Your house how many rooms must be Beyond this one where we rest momently.

Dear Lord, we thank You for the faith that frees, The love that knows it cannot lose its own; The love that, looking through the shadows, sees That You and he and we are ever one!"

("The Traveler," by James Dillet Freeman)
