I offer all I am or will ever be, <br />My prayers, deeds, the all of me <br /> <br />To serve and give to my Dear Lord, <br />Thru soul bound to Him by Silver-Cord <br /> <br />Some day He'll reach down a Loving Hand, <br />When Heaven calls, I'll leave this land <br /> <br />Rising up on snowy wings, <br />Go home at last, as Angels' sing <br /> <br />Songs of freedom, joy and mirth, <br />As I ascend to that special place, <br />Not far from Mother Earth<br /><br />Ray Lucero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-home-affirmation-of-faith/
