I made it Home

I just wanted to let you all know that

I made it home. The journey wasn’t

An easy one, but it didn’t take too long.

Everything is so pretty here, so white,

So fresh and new. I wish that

You all could close your eyes and that

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 hands.

Here there is no sadness, 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.
