To My Dearest Family

To My Dearest Family,

Some things I'd like to say,

But first of all to let you know that I arrived O.K.

I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above

Here there's no more tears or 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 so badly; you're part of my big 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 that list was to watch and care for you.

I will be beside you every day and week and year

And when you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tear.

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'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 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 am closer to you then I ever was before.

And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best,

I'm still not very 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, 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, so the World will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's 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 someone 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 footprints only half a step behind. And when you feel that gentle breeze or 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 that 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. We'll be in touch again soon.

P.S. God sends His love.
