Beatrice Boyle - Going Home lyrics

As I approach the twilight of my days, And contemplate the road the I have trod; I wonder, through a memory fogged haze, Did I fulfull the teachings of my God?" Do I love my neighbor as myself, Treat him kindly, always with respect; Do I place too much emphasis on self, Resulting in indifference and neglect" As a parent, did my children learn from me? How well did I teach them right from wrong; I hope someday, when I'm gone, they will see, The rules laid down were meant to make them strong. Have I used the talents that God gave me? I use my voice to praise his name; I hope I write my poems for all to see, No matter what, he loves us all the same. The day is done and I have earned my rest, The battle's won, I'm laying down my sword; I'm praying Lord, that I have done my best, I'm going home to you, that's my reward!
