HOME AT LAST

There are no words--what can I say?
At last her sweet soul winged its way
To peace and freedom in the sky
Where never again will she suffer or cry.
It's all a part of God's great plan...
Which just for now is a mystery to man.
We cannot understand His ways
Nor can we count our earthly days.
But who are we to question and doubt
God knoweth well what He's about.
God knew she longed to "go to sleep"
Where only angels a vigil keep.
The pain of living grew too great,
No longer could she stay and wait.
She did not want to leave you, dear
But she had finished her work down here.
So she closed her eyes and when she awoke
These are the words the Master spoke,
"Welcome, dear child, you are home at last
And now the burden of living is past.
There's work for you in my Kingdom, Dear
And you are needed and wanted here".
So, weep not, she's just gone on ahead
Don't think of her as being dead.
She's just out of sight for a little while,
You'll miss her touch and her little smile
But know she is safe in the home above
Where there is nothing but peace,and joy, and love
And, surely, you would not deny her peace
And you are glad that she has found release.
Think of her there as a soul that is free
And Home at last, where she wanted to be.
So think of your loved one as living above
No farther away than your undying love...
Now she is happy and free once more
And she waits for you at eternity's door.
