Margaret's House

Do not shed tears the day I go.

Now, I know that you don't know

The Kingdom that awaits me is free of pain 

And I can see my loved ones again.

Except no one is sick, or scared, or broken

And only kindness comes from the words that are spoken.

I get to look upon the Lord's loving face

And I've been washed clean by GOD'S warm embrace.

I will miss all of you, but please don't cry.

I've chosen to go home to live in the sky.

I'll look over you and tell the angels to guide,

But for now, I must go to be by GOD'S side.

Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the love.

I cherish it all as I see from above! 

Heaven is beautiful, just wait and see.

And GOD prepared a lavish mansion there for me.

So, I ask that you smile through the sadness.

I want you to laugh at the pain.

I hope that you dance in the puddles

When life throws at you the rain.

Because once the journey has ended 

And you walk over the rainbow bridge too,

You'll see that the fight was worth fighting,

And you'll see all of heaven rooting for you.

Now, go live life to the fullest

And know that I tried while I was here.

I ask that my memory brings you joy and gladness

And that GOD wipes away all your tears!
