There are some
concerns arising for the end of my days
There are those needs
I must put away some plans for finding a shelter for my soul
I cannot leave it
here or there without a protector or possessor
For the life I have
lived has touched so many souls
I want to be burned
and not put into the ground
I want to be open in
the air and spread my ashes all around
Good fortune has
followed me and I feel very blessed
But to find a shelter
for my soul is now my best interest.
I made some mistakes
and I have some regrets
But when the Good
Lord calls me I shall carry these burdens no more
And although I have
been brave and met the courage for the tasks
I now believe it’s
time for me to rest.
My end game will be
my new game as I see the gates of heaven nearby
And ask for forgiveness
for the harm I hope the good Lord will buy
For I am sure I will
need a place to stay although I cannot pay
But a place to rest
and shelter for my soul is what I hope I may
Oh if my days could
have been all over again
I would have spent my
time getting out of the rain
But the rain was what
attracted me to all I have ever asked for and seen
As a knock on a door
freed me from the shadow of my name and a new life can begin
I am weary of these
burdens I carried I am tired of this mortal load
To do what is right
and rather than follow others or those who have told
That heaven is
imaginary and often never found
But what I know is
that I will fall into the arms of heaven and by God’s love I am bound
