Simply going home
what will tomorrow truly bring?
i wonder will i cry or will i sing?
will i make each moment count?
or simply sit, beaten, down and out
life much shorter now is what they say
i should injoy each moment of every day
grandchildren i will never see grown
soul mate far to soon left all alone
slowly my body will begin to weaken and fail
even my mind will become slow and frail
they say it wont take long before i die
what do i tell the children when they ask why?
that God has a master plan for us all
i must fill each day with memorys to recall
hope they understand i am simply going home
no longer sick or frail, no longer this earth to roam
I'll be waiting to greet each and every one of you
please lets injoy my days, no matter how few
intill we meet again inside heavens golden gate
please dont rush, take your time, I can wait
