Here to me

A Letter from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say

But first of all, to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above.

Here there's no tears of sadness, just pure eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

The day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I needed you here badly, you're part of my plan,

There's so much we have to do to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do,

And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you.

And when you retire to your bed, the day's chores put to flight,

God and I are close to you...in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years,

Because you're only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain,

Remember there wouldn't be flowers, unless there was some rain.

There are many roads ahead of you, many hills to climb,

But together we can do it, taking one day at a time.

And now I am contented that my life was so worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

When you are walking down the road and I am on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.

And when it is your time to go on...from that body to be free,

Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.
