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 more tears of
sadness; here 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 He 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 badly; 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,
the day's 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 are 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
all that God has 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'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads
ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by
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 to you.

If you can help somebody who's
in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way,
I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who
is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're 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.

BEAUTIFUL GARDEN

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
be well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting
rough and the hills
were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary,
loving eyes,
And whispered, "Peace be Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

If Love Alone

A million times we've needed you
A million times we have cried,
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still,
For in our hearts you hold A place
no-one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you did not go alone,
For a part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
