If Today my God were calling me home

                                       I should have to wonder ......

                                       “What could I have ....?

                                       ”What should I have .....?

                                       The sorrows that I have caused your heart

                                        to be counted on the hands

                                        of our children’s children.

                                       Yet when I see you ......

                                        here ..... today .....

                                       I seem to forget all of the pain that you suffer

                                        daily on my account as I live for this moment

                                        that exists in but an infinite future.

                                      So, on that day when my God is calling me home ....

                                      Be with me for that last moment of infinity.

                                      Hold my weary hand .... Comfort the tired brow.

                                      And remember ........

                                     I have heard a quiet rumor of Heavenly angels ....

                                    And I will softly tell you

                                     of the bright wings that they wear,

                                     and of their shimmering halos of gold ....

                                   And as I tell you of this wonderful Heavenly gossip,

                                      watch the star shine light my eyes.

                                   And know ......

                                   Without the simple “you” .....

                                   Without your soul joined forever with mine .....

                                    Without the heart of me

                                       that beats for the love of you alone .....

                                     I would never have heard

                                      those quiet Heavenly rumors of haloed angels

                                      that will carry me .....

                                    When my God is calling me to come home!
