Get Up and Dance: You Don’t Need A Second Chance

By: Rebecca Watson (View Profile)

Why? Because her attitude is what made her truly gifted.

 

That dreaded day came when God asked her to come home.

No wonder she never worried about her flesh and bone.

She’s now painless and comforted in Heaven’s throne,

It’s my wish that her story’s ending becomes your own.

 

Hundreds upon hundreds gathered to praise Julia’s name.

Smiling and crying at once—“We’ll never be the same.”

How she held onto God’s light and love is beyond my belief,

The golden memory of her joy will forever melt my grief.
