Although my Homegoing may seem soon, fret not... for I'm okay!
My heart is in my Father's hand For He shows me the way.
I know that you will miss me. Since in this world I am no longer with you, Butjust think ofme in our Fathers house and
His love will see you through. The Lord above knows why I was chosen to go this soon, But it is time for me to claim my space in the upper room. I know I touched a lot ofhearts and gained a lot oflove.
But its time to go, but don 't cry. Just think, I have a greater peace. Do I now know the greatest love I found the most precious journey I ever made was going Homeward Bound
