To-day the road seems long,
But every human heart has known

For one must go and another must
stay,
And the strongest ties be riven;
There is sorrow and heartbreak on the
way,
But the long road leads to Heaven. Ii

Each color strong and aue.
And il is finished; she has passed
The shuttle on to YOU.
fou, too, must weave till life il DER
And the final summons given;
FOR she has only gone before
On the road that leads to Heaven.
