My Vision

When I get to my home in Heaven
I will see things I only dream about
It must be the grandest home of all
When I see Him I’ll sing and shout

We don’t know much about beauty
Seen on this sinful Earth down here
If it is compared with that in the sky
With both He used the upmost care

How wonderful to these prying eyes
Will be the visions there I shall see
Created by our Saviors hands alone
He made for everyone including me

One day these visions will be reality
No longer will I have to dream them
My eyes will be in awesome wonder
There my visions will never grow dim

My Friend Pete

It's just a faded memory of a past yesterday
When I was a boy and he was my best friend
Lost to this world when he was hit by that car
It was hard to know his life had come to an end

In his small grey casket he laid as if sleeping
His small body was in a perfect sweet repose
His little Brown suit had not one tiny wrinkle
His right hand was holding a pretty Red Rose

Pete and I were such good friends I remember
We were together the biggest part of every day
It was at his house or at mine you could find us
In Summer we loved to both swim and to play

Nearly Seventy years have now passed me by
I know from up in Heaven He watches over me
I'll be united with my friend Pete one bright day
When God calls and my friend again I will see
