The White Chariot. ( By Julie Johnson ). During journey on your final flight home. White wings will carry you and you will be flown. To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in. To the feet of your Lord, your Savior, and your friends. He will hold you in his arms and the angles will sing. As another one of His children is delivered by white wings. M L. Garrett. CSX Locomotive Engine Retire. R.I.P. Brother.
