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. Here I dwell
with God above.
Here, there are 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 over.
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.
