Life was but a shadow that was soon cast aside
Around the throne with my Father is where I will abide
Where joy is eternal one I will never have to forsake
A promise that was made that no one can ever take
This earthly tabernacle was only meant for a while
A heavenly home made ready for His beloved child
No more setting of the sun all of life's fears are gone
Will live with Him forever and never to be left alone
Some days were dark and dreary had some happy days too
If it wasn't for His mercy I could never have made it through
Dreams have since vanished and memories a thing of the past
My Father and I are now one; home at last, home at last

We all look for that peaceful abode as we get older and older. Nicely described the feelings.
