I have come to the end of my life
I have walked this road for many, many years
Wandered far off the beaten path but gracefully lead back on
Looking back over the years of my prolonged life
I see the pain, the heartache, but I also see love and forgiveness
I have come to the end of the path
I sit here on the doorstep of death
Awaiting for the door to creak open
And be welcomed like a long, lost friend
The voice that had been calling me for all of my life was so near
So near I could clearly hear him
“Long I have called your name, and many times you have ignored me
But all the more I have loved you always
Welcome home my son”
Such sweet release pressed over my soul
All my life I longed for love and peace
And here, of all places, I have found it
I have crossed this ocean and have come to the distant shore
The road long travelled has paid off
I hear the door open
Brilliant light shining bright
And the voice called out one last time as I closed my eyes
“Welcome home my son, welcome home”
