From Yong Hooi Fen (Form Five Prefect)
Home At Last
There are no words, what can I say
At last his sweet soul winged its way
To peace and freedom in the sky
Where never again will he suffer or cry
It's all a part of god's great plan ......
Which is a mystery to man
We cannot understand his way
Nor can we count our earthly days
But who are we to question and doubt
God knoweth well what he's about
He knew he longed to"go to sleep"
Where only angle a vigil keep
The pain of living grew too great
No longer could he stay and wait
He did not want to leave you, Dear
But he had finished his work down here
So he closed his eyes and when he awoke
These are the words the master spoke
"Welcome, dear child, you're home at last
And now the burden of living is past
There's work for you in my kingdom, Dear
And you are needed and wanted here."
So weep not, he's just gone on ahead
Don't think of him as being dead
He's out of sight for a little while
And you'll miss his touch, and his little smile
But you know he's safe in the home above
Where there's nothing but peace and love
And surely you would not deny his peace
And you're glad he has found release
Think of him as a soul that is free
And at home at last, where he wanted to be.
