Going Home

Small and frail with a knowing smile
She said, “I'm going Home”.
Don't weep, don't wail, and don't mourn for me;
You see, “I'm going home”

Of course I know you'll miss me;
If I weren't so tired I'd stay.
But you see, my Lord has called me;
He came to Light my way.

“I'm going home”, my dear ones,
It's all as God has planned.
I really must be going,
He's here to take my hand.

“I'm going Home”
By, Linda Wunderlich
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
