She Is going Home

In the quietness of the Funeral Home
Her small gray coffin was open to see
An old lady that was past her eighties
She is going home where she'll be free

Her life on Earth hasn't been very easy
Born into poverty in the nineteen twenties
Her education was was only the 8th grade
Some made dollars as she made pennies

She wanted better times that never came
Married to a dirt poor farmer who left her
She had those three little children to feed
Destitute, welfare became her only answer

Today she knows the beauty of Heaven
She has no need for their silver and gold
Heaven has provided her with all needs
Today her eternal life with God did unfold
