Tone Poem

To My Delilah, Don’t Be Scared of Heaven
By Helmut Finch

To my dearest daughter Delilah
Don’t be scared of heaven
Poppa is here with you now
I will hold your hand and walk you there

The road is clear and paved for you
Poppa can see through smoke and fog and clouds
You can fly with the eagles to heaven
Momma will wait for you there

Don’t be scared, Delilah
I will find you there
