I have
traveled far; to reach this Pearly Gate
But I do not want to wander; beyond this place
I just need to rest awhile; for my friend I wait
Please let them know; I love them still
Let them know that I understand
what they did; they did with love
With my body now gone
my spirit flew home; on the wings of a dove
To my Creators arms; in Heaven above
Now all I ask; is that I may wait
I for will lay quietly; here by the gate
For if I entered now; without my friend
it wouldn't be Heaven at all
