Heading To Heaven Poem by Christopher Tye

Heading To Heaven

No more battles to fight,
No more foes to face,
No more victories to win,
No more wounds to heal.

Now I can stand with my brothers,
Now I can re-join my house,
Now I can watch from above,
Now I can rest for eternity.

I did not cease the fight,
I did not hate my enemies,
I did not stray from the path,
I did not stop my endeavours.

I had no more lands to conquer,
I had no more armies to led,
I had no more empires to rule,
I had no more to prove.

Pity me not now I am here,
Pity those left behind,
Pity me not for I am free,
Pity those who have no wars to fight.

The time was right,
The journey is complete,
The house is now reunited
The warrior brothers together again.

Remember us with a toast,
Remember our life's with happiness,
Remember we fought willingly,
Remember we will watch over you.
