I Made it Home
I just wanted to let you know
that I made it home.
Everything is so pretty here, so white,
so fresh, so new. I wish that you could
close your eyes so you could see it too.
Please try not to be sad for me. Try
to understand, God is taking care of
me….I’m in the shelter of His hand.
Here there is no sadness and no sorrow
and no pain. Here there is no crying and
I’ll never hurt again.
Here it is so peaceful, when all
the angels sing. I really have to go for
now…I’ve just got to try my wings.
p.s…I’ll be the first face you see
when you get here.
