The Infinite Destiny

The Sun rises, and the Sun sets,

Her time has come,

Have no regrets

She lived a life we all know

A better place, she will go

For she is at peace and accepts her fate,

It is a sleep that all must take

An eternal end that all must make

Dreaming of awaking in light not dark

Her faithfulness she begun to understand

Her exact place in this troubled land

She truly never ceased to seek,

The infinite destiny that in eternity is kept,

For her and her family no eternal death awaits

Because of her zeal to know her fate

She will go to that most Holy Place.

We rejoice this day, it’s at an end.

And she will see us once again.

We love you forever, Your Entire Family

To God Be the Glory!
