A song for my mother, Pamela Jean Davies, on her birthday (4th March, 2012). She would have been 61-years old. She liked Johnny Cash in her younger days and to be honest I only started listening to him after she passed away. These words have a very special meaning for me.
If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven
Soon we’ll come to the end of life’s journey
And perhaps we’ll never meet anymore
‘Til we gather in Heaven’s bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There’s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charmin roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
They say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
And they say we’ll be happy forever
In that wonderful sweet by and by
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There’s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charmin roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
I miss you, mum. I love you so SO much – rest in peace xxxx
