Pray For Me

Pray for me today
Pray for me tomorrow
For I may get better
As I lay here
Awaiting God’s letter

His letter will say, 
Thank you for serving me well 
Despite the many times you fell 
Come take my hand
And I will lead you
To the promise land

Your sufferings here on earth 
Was only since your birth 
The time has come to end 
The curiosity of what
Is around the bend

Angels dressed in white lace 
Beautiful faces, beautiful place
Colours of absolute beauty 
Faces from each and every race

Thank you my servant
I hope your experience was pleasant 
Say goodbye to your loved ones 
Your life now and as promised Will forever
Be fun
