On My Way

I hear, I become clever
I see,I remember.

I read,I learn
Into my memory it burns.

Someday I will leave this earth,
Ascend to discover my true worth.

I am just a visitor here,
Traveling to a place where those are dear.

Keep my things, for I will not need them there,
For where I go is all love and eternal care.

The time has come to take his hand,
To lead me to the promised land.

Where all my loved ones sit and wait,
Beyond the stars at Heavens Gate.
