I Made It Home

I swig my spirits up on high
I hold on to love like a silk white dove,
I maintain holding on to Jehovah's name.
the night grown longer
the heart is growing founder
into a deep sleep, slowly sink.
the darkness closes around my eyes
I start to dream of Paradise
I felt like a beautiful bride standing in the light,
deeper and deeper I become deeper in love,
I see faces of my own beloved .
I cry out with joy
holding on to my young of my lost
a little boy
a little girl
all the old I known of long ago
my dad
my brother
my grandson Jesse
my little girl Hope
said I am glad you made it home
Oh, how my heart jump with happiness,
beautiful colors of shaded green
beautiful blue sky
everything nice to my eyes
so vivid
so bold
but never cold
the images dance and swirl around with glory
doves flying around me
quickly  I run with all my loved ones
before my time is finally done
I held each and every one
I given my love
now it was time for me to wake up.
