To my dearest family and friends

To my dearest family and friends
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 are no tears or sadness
There is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you
Every morning noon and night
That day I had to leave you
When my day 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 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
And I will be beside you
Every day, week and year
And when you're sad, I'm standing there
To wipe away a tear
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight
God and I are closer to you
In the middle of the night
When you think of my days on earth
As I had not any 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
Of all that God has planned
But if we were to tell you
You wouldn’t understand
But one thing is for certain
Though my life on earth is done
I am closer to you now
Than when it just began
And to the very many friends
Trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are many 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 you give unto the world
So the world will give to you
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and in pain
Then you can say to God at night
My day was not in vain
And now I am contented
That my little 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 half a step behind
And when you feel that gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you a great big hug
Or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
From your body to be free
Remember you're not going
You are coming here to me
And I will always love you
From that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon
P.S. God sends HIS LOVE.
