A Poem, Titled, 'The White Chariot'
During your journey
on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you
and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven,
where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Saviour,
and friend.
And the angels will sing.
As another one of His children
is delivered by white wings.
