Safely Home
by Unknown

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY BROTHER! While growing up I remember: Staying at grandma Sue and grandpa Jake’s house.While staying there we would not go to sleep when we were suppose to. We would play with flash lights making figures on the wall. The game of trying not to get caught sneaking out of the room to snoop in the drawers in the hallway, Grandma’s sewing room upstairs, and the scary small door in the room we were sleeping in. You knew where Grandpa’s key to his den was hidden in the basement, which meant a very fun way to investigate his things. We would love the challenge of pretending we were asleep and slowly creeping down the stairs and listening to Grandma and Grandpa talking. We would sit there for along time and never get caught. I don’t think they ever knew. Taking the challenge to slide down the stairs on our bottoms. Jumping off the stairs while holding the pole in the basement. A few things I remember about you when you were little are: You and I fighting with each other. (You went to heaven before I could finish this but will add more soon) But the most important thing of all, is I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gerald! (2002 I sent this to you).
