The poet Pamela Grant asked me to set her words to music. She wrote this one in memory of Patty Brightwell , my high school classmate and friend.
This is a simple descending scaled tune in alternating A minor and G major chords.

Disappeared from Earth

Music by Anne Ku, London 14 October 2000
4/4 time, A minor, G chords
In our hearts they will
live forever
shining their light upon us.
In all the precious memories
the many lives they have touched.
God has his reasons
for things
his amazing purposes
While the devil schemes and destroys
building hatred, a murderous heart.
It's so hard to understand
why they were taken from this earth.
Their spirits are now soaring the heavens
in the magnificence of God's love.
Their earthbound flights
have ended
while a soul is purely truth
No deeds are left undone
here on earth or in heavens above.
