Reflection
Going to Heaven! I don’t know when, pray do not ask me how. Going to Heaven! How dim it sounds! And yet it will be done as sure as flocks go home at night unto the shepherd’s arm. If you should get there first, save just a little place for me close to the two I lost. The smallest “robe” will fit me and just a bit of “crown”; for you know we do not mind our dress when we are going home.
