When Heaven Calls

It is time to go home, and we can't say no...

When Heaven Calls
Sweet Dreams

When Heaven calls and requests that you come home,

You don’t really have the option of saying no.

A fight is over,

The clock has stopped.

I hope as soon as you step through the pearly gates,

You are greeted by millions of souls who are anxious to meet you.

They all know your name,

Your hopes and your fears.

Heaven is home.

I know you may be scared, new angel,

As you leave your life here on Earth.

But it will be ok.

All you can do now is take in the endless joy that surrounds you,

Watch over your family,

And smile as you look down on the world below you.

You will be missed, sweet angel, do not think that you won’t.

But we all will be reunited again someday.

Though until that day,

Fly, angel, fly.

Soar the skies and soak up the universe around you.

You have paid your time, and we are thankful for what you had.

For now, this is goodbye,

Fly, sweet angel, fly.
