Faye Y. Carter

To all my loved ones

My family, my friends

The road I have traveled

Has come to an end.

I started on

This journey one day;

The Lord was with me

Every step of the way.

Some days I'd get tired

And so very weak,

But I thank the Lord

For taking care of me.

I fought a good fight

I kept the faith

I am ready to enter

The pearly white gates.

As I came

To the end if the road,

God placed on my shoulders

A beautiful white robe.

I began to smile

And looked all around.

He placed on my head

A golden crown.

To all my loved ones

Everything is all right,

My name is written

In the Lamb's Book of Life.
