A 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
witting 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 because you’re part of my plan.
There is 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.
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 short 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.
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, 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,
the world will give to you.
If you can help
somebody who is 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 - it was
worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody
smile.
If you meet somebody who is sad
and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on you way to go.
When you’re walking
down the street and you’ve got me on your
mind;
I’m walking on 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.
