May God Bless You on Your Long Journey Home
I sit on the edge of his hospital bed
Watching as his breathing is labored
Taking his last breath he smiles at me
I whisper in his ear, “May God bless you on your long journey home.”
He stands on a balcony of heaven’s palace
Looking down at us as we mourn him
He smiles trying to let us know that everything’s ok now
May God bless you on your long journey home.
He looks out a window, watching his memories pass like a motion picture
He watches you get older and smiles
He watches as you have your own kids and you make your own mistakes
May God bless you on your long journey home.
He gently pushes you in the right direction when you try to go the other way
He watches as you start getting older
He sits on the edge of your hospital bed, like you once did for him
And he whispers, “May God bless you on your long journey home.”
