A Soldier of God’s army, <br />You now lay down to rest. <br />As a testament of time, <br />You’ve given it your best. <br /> <br />You lay here in body, <br />Prepared for your home going. <br />Your spirit is still with us, <br />As we sit here knowing, <br />Your future will be bright, <br />As you dance in the grace of peace, <br />The Lord has shown you the way, <br />To shine in your increase. <br /> <br />God enabled you to see – <br />Your children grow. <br />He enabled you to see – <br />Your children’s – children grow. <br /> <br />What a blessing it truly is, <br />To leave a legacy - <br /> that will last for many years. <br /> <br />Fulfillment of a dream, is all <br />anyone could ever ask for. <br />We now say goodbye, <br />As you step upon heaven’s door. <br /> <br />For God’s soldier is going home <br />To take his place in eternal peace. <br />Love, <br />Happiness and joy, <br />Forever, <br />God’s soldier – <br />Rest in peace.<br /><br />David Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/home-going-soldier/
