"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 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 am 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 are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can 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.
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 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 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 was 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 them 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.

The Legend Of The Raindrop

The legend of the raindrop has a lesson for us all. As it trembled in the heavens questioning whether it should fall ~ For the glistening raindrop argued, to the genie of the sky, "I am beautiful and lovely as I sparkle here on high, And hanging here I will become part of the rainbow's hue And I'll shimmer like a diamond for all the world to view"..... But the genie told the raindrop, "Do not hesitate to go. For you will be more beautiful if you fall to earth below, For you will sink into the soil and be lost a while from sight, But when you reappear on earth, you'll be looked on with delight; For you will be the raindrop that quenched the thirsty ground And helped the lovely flowers to blossom all around, And in your resurrection you'll appear in queenly clothes With the beauty of the lily and the fragrance of the rose; Then when you wilt and wither, you'll become part of the earth And make the soil more fertile and give new flowers birth".... For there is nothing lost forever or eternally neglected For everything God ever made is always resurrected; So trust God's all-wise wisdom and doubt the Father never, For in His heavenly kingdom there is nothing lost forever.
