| Letter From Heaven |
| 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'm 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 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 need you here so badly |
| As you're part of my plan; |
| There's so much that 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 lie in bed at night, |
| With the days 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 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 would be no flowers, |
| Unless there were some rain. |
| I wish that I could tell you |
| All that God has planned, |
| But if I were to tell you, |
| You really wouldn't understand. |
| There is one thing is for certain, |
| Athough my life on earth is o'er. |
| I'm closer to you now, |
| Than I ever was before. |
| There are rocky roads ahead of you, |
| And many hills to climb, |
| But together we can do it |
| By just taking one day at a time. |
| It was always my philosophy |
| And I'd like it for you too, |
| That as you give unto the world, |
| The world will give back to you. |
| If you can ever help somebody |
| Who's in sorrow and pain, |
| Then you can say to God at night... |
| "My day was not in vain." |
| For now I am contented |
| That my life it was worthwhile; |
| Knowing as I passed along the way, |
| I was able to make somebody smile. |
| So if you meet somebody |
| Who is down and feeling low... |
| Just lend a hand to 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 half a step behind. |
| And when it's time for you to go |
| From that body to be free, |
| Remember you're not going... |
| You're coming here to me. |
| This page I dedicate to a very special person who |
| will always hold a special place in my Heart |
| that only he can fill. |
| I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I could |
| get a letter from Heaven these are the words he |
| would say. |
| To my dearest family... there's |
