Homecoming

Two months since that lonely day,
Mother said, "good-bye" and went away;
She left around the break of day,
Exact time, no one could say.

We longed to keep her here awhile,
She said, "Dad's waiting with a smile";
You kids, live good and come on,
We'll be waiting near God's throne.

Mother and Dad-sitting at the Gate,
Out stretched arms, longingly wait;
Where family will be complete again,
Free from all heartaches, sorrow and sin.
