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 hands.
Here there is no sadness, and no
sorrow, and now 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.
PS...I'll be the first face you
see when you get here!
