Your Side

Oscar Waller, 2/28/1997 – written en route to his viewing after a completely unexpected departure

I’ve been gazing at the sunset Someone painted just for me
and I wonder – What does it look like from your side?

As you visit with your family walking by the crystal sea –
What does it look like from your side?

You don’t have to look through fog or tears…
Your brand new body doesn’t feel it’s years…
Your brand new heart will have no more fears…
It must be so beautiful from your side.

You’ve stepped from the world of sunsets to the land of eternal sunrise…
Where our Friend and Savior, with His own hand, will wipe all tears from our eyes…
Where all things are new, and no one ever dies…
Welcome to the joy and splendor of your side.
