ON MY WAY HOME
(SHAMEKA’S PRAYER)
i am on my way home, you have called for me.
when i reach my destination, in heaven i will be.
old familiar faces will be there for me to greet.
the friends and family i leave behind once again we shall meet
take care of my loved ones now that we will be apart.
take a piece of my spirit, place it in each and every heart.
let my spirit comfort them so they know i am here.
let them know i am on my way home, with nothing to fear.
i leave this broken body, and this broken shell.
i enter the lights of heaven, not the darkness of hell.
tears need not be shed for the time that i am gone.
my journey has ended and now i am home.
