Going Home

Going Home 

I’ve heard it said that heaven is home
Is it true, is heaven considered home 

If heaven is home I’ll be there some day
When will that day be I can’t really say

Lots of people there I will see
Only a few are waiting for me

I’ve had many dogs with me here
I guess I will see them again up there

My mother is waiting and so is my wife
I’ll be going home at the end of this life

dear michael, in hindu religion we connect only to the present situation and never think to reconnect once the soul leaves this body its role well played it moves on, so please embrace the thought that you have lived well and will be released and may be u will see more love out there, many roles to play, i wish you all soothing emotions to make u happy...sunkan
