Danny's Home



The sun had already kissed the sky Saturday when the news came in by phone

A trembling voice on the line struggling with the words our sweet Danny has gone home

I felt my soul flood with pain and spilled over with my heartaches tears

The cold dark loneliness crowded in pushing right in next to my own fear

And then I hear a familiar whisper of my sweet Jesus calming voice

Hush my precious child listen close there is no more painful noise

If you could of seen his face when he looked right up at me

The joy that filled him shining through his amazing smile that now he’s finally free

We’re walking hand in hand on my streets that are sparking because their made of gold

I’m answering all of his questions that at one time he did not know

He’s here with me and I’m with you I’ve never once ever left your side

I know you are hurting it will be okay and I know you’re asking why

But please know I needed him so much and his victory has now just begun

He did not lose a single battle he is with your Father’s precious Son

So take your deepest breath and take me into the deeper side of you

Surrendering all you will feel my arms of love and this I will see you through

He’s not that far as it may feel a part of him your heart will always keep

But I needed him more here with me there’s much to do and one day you will see

Maylinda Jane McRae

I haved live in Georgia all my life. I have four beautiful children and five grandchildren,an amazing man in my life named Scott. God has also blessed me with many loving family members and friends. God has blessed me in so many ways and I want to share with others how amazing he is and the grace that he wants to bestow on others. I have been writing since I was a little girl, it has always helped me to express myself whether it was during a storm or a victory in my life. My prayer is that my poems will help someone who may be going through a storm or celebrate a vicotry in life. more…
