Save My Place Poem by S. I. Rednow

Whether flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone
Or simply my friend, God's called you on home
Your companionship gone, absent this season
Not sure why you're called, but God has a reason
The Lord made a promise, and He is no liar
I'll see you in heaven, cause that's my desire
We'll greet one another, and soon we will see
How long can we laugh, how long will it be
To hug and to hold you, and hug you again
If this goes on forever, it's only began
Until then remember, we'll meet again soon
Won't be any sorrow, no sadness or gloom
You made us so proud, you gave us your best
And now with the Lord, for passing this test
Rewarded a body, glorified in grace
I ask you a favor, just save me a place
