Dear
Family, I’m writing this letter
To tell you
I’m safely at Home
My earthly
experience of trials
and learning
Prepared me to
rest near the Throne
When I saw the
Golden Gates of
this City
My loved ones
all met me with
smiles
I had no
desire to look back where
I’d been
Or to measure
the time or the miles
There’s no
pain allowed in my new
home
No tears are
permitted to fall
We’re busy
enjoying the beauty and
love
We don’t need
telephones to call
Oh, I’ve never
seen such beautiful
roses
In all my long
years of earthly
life
They’re
growing like grass in this
wonderful place
There’s not
one weed to pull in
sight
You should see
the dahlias and
lilies
Their blossoms
seem never to fade
They’re
watered and fed by the
Master of Gardens
While I just
rest here in the shade
Just be
patient, my friends and my
loved ones
It’s a trip
well worth waiting for
You’ll know
how I feel and the joy
in my heart
Just as soon
as you enter the door
Oh, yes, I
have met Dad and Mother
And visited
all those we love
We’ve all just
been waiting and
hoping to see
You enter your
new Home Above.
