GOING HOME

GOING HOME


His light grows ever dimmer,
One day soon it will go out,
‘Cause time gets only slimmer,
That’s what life is all about.
~
It looks like a long highway,
In the years when you are young
But youth with you will not stay,
It’s a song too short when sung.
~
Shorter, it seems days have grown,
And they pass him swiftly by,
Good times and bad he has known,
Changing he’d not think to try.
~
He knows the next road he walks,
He’ll not travel all alone,
It’s with God, each night he talks,
In His house he will be home.
