For Now It Is My Time

For now it is my time, I can see the light just ahead; I don't know what is going to happen, But I can tell someone's heart is filled with dread. The angel came to me, She told me it was time to go; She took me by the hand, it was by then I knew it was so. She whispered, "Don't worry, It'll be okay; For all that was left behind, will be with you again someday." With a nod of my head, and a tear down my cheek; She looked at me, as she continued to speak. "My little one, don't be so sad; Once you are home, your heart shall be glad." For now it is my time, and I never dared to question why; I have reached the gates of heaven, and I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. For all is in the past, and so are you; If only I could go back, and tell you how much I love you. Please, don't cry, we'll meet again, I'm promising you this; I'll be waiting for you, Here, home in heaven. In heaven it was him that I saw, The Almighty Father; He opened his arms out to me, as he started to move his jaw. He looked down at me, I couldn't think of a word to say; And as he spoke, I started to convey. He said, "Welcome, little one, I knew this day would come; And now that you're here, I will share my words of wisdom. I've watched as you've done wrong, you know this is true; But I'm happy to see you here with me, and I have forgiven you. For this life now is eternal, and tomorrow is gone; Your old life will be nothing, I promise you by dawn." He wrapped his arms around me, and ran his fingers through my hair; He held me tight, and started to say a prayer. Once he was finished, he looked at me again; He told me, "Dear child, won't you stay with me in heaven?" I looked behind me, taking a glance at my past; I'm thinking of you while I'm gone, and in my heart that's where you'll last. For now it is my time, for this I will believe; I will go on about my business, and I shall take my leave.
