Home

Welcome, winged one

into the place prepared for you

the home built by the upward

yearning of your heart.

Come and find your rest.

Walk the halls hallowed

by your humility

sit in these rooms made

spacious by your love

see the windows lit by the laughter

of your living.

This is home.

And now your eyes are glory filled

and now your lips sing

the praises you always knew

but couldn’t find words for

and now you touch the sacred

sandal of the One

who laughs for your homecoming.

Well done.

Our hearts echo

heaven’s cry.

And now this mansion

will fill with the joy

of you

and all eternity will know

that spark in your eyes

that brilliant laugh

that selfless way you have

of always giving,

open arms wide.
