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
Where I dwell with God above
Where there's no more tears
or sadness
There is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
just because I am out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you
When my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and he said I welcome you it's
good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as far as your family
they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly
as part of my big plan
There's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you
everyday, and week and year
and when you're sad
I am standing there
to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
the daily chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those many 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 would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God had planned
but if I were to tell you
you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before
And to my many friends
trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just behind the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too
that as the World will give to you
If you can help somebody
who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain
And now I am contented
that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand and pick him up
as on your way you go
When you are walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only a half step behind
And when you feel a gentle breeze
or wind upon your face
that is me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free
remember you're not going
you are coming to be with me.
And I will always love you
from that land way up above

Will be in touch soon,
P.S. God sends his love

Oh Father, my father

Close your eyes and feel me near
keep me inside your heart
let me live in your soul
you see through tears
the things we will never do
running across the fields of my youth
games never played
but it is not gone
those dreams you hold so close
for I live on in every child you see
little ones standing alone...lost
or laughing in a playground
swinging so high
touching the tree tops
that is I
wanting just to love
feel my happiness in the song of a bird
see my sorrow in mother
hold her close forever
feeling your strength
for there will be one to come behind me
whether through God's grace or
from a different calling
a child chosen through His hand.
For in darkness, a light will appear
even if it is just the dawn
signaling a new beginning
and as you gather mother to your heart
release your tears
let the healing begin
and discover that I am here
in your dreams
in your tomorrows
Every rainbow is the path home
and if you should stumble
I am the wings that shall lift you

Love, your child

I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know.
I'll tell you how a heart can break
And tears can constant flow.
I lost my baby girl you see,
An angel in my eyes
God chose to take her hand one day
And led her to the skies.
But please do not forget my child
She was a person too
And forever she will live
Inside of me and you.
So, please don't ever tell me
That time will heal my pain
Because not even time
Can bring her back again.
Just tell me she is happy
In that land way up above
She's snuggled in an angels wings
All wrapped in Mommy's love.
