Poem I Close My Eyes I closed my eyes and fell asleep. For my Father has called me, please do not weep. My battle is won, my burdens are gone, I’m tired my family it’s time to go home. My eyes are closed, for I am going home. But remember my family, I’ll never leave you alone. Be strong be a family, for you are my seed. Togetherness my family, is what you must heed. I love you all, this I so say, let Jesus be your lord, he’ll lead the way. Remember my family, for I go not far, I’ll be watching you, I’ll be that shining star. My father has called me, it’s time to go stay strong, be family, and please do not weep for I am just tired and need to sleep.
