He let her body sleep.

Angels took her soul to Heaven,

For God to safely keep.

As she lay within Their arms,

Free from all the pain.

Tears began to flow,

And they fell to Earth as rain.

They weren't tears of sadness,

Or pity or of woe.

They were tears of serenity,

Like a raindrop on a rose.

The Angels laid her gently,

On a carpet made of clouds.

She heard soft music playing,

As her loved ones gathered round.

The first ones that she saw,

Were Shawn and Misty's little ones.

She did not know they were there,

His only daughter and only son.

My father stood there beside them,

He had waited all these years.

For my mother to come Home,

Now the sky cries many tears.

But without these tears of happiness,

No rain would fall to Earth,

Without the rain to flourish things,

There would be no re-birth.

So when gentle rains are falling,

Take time to catch a few.

Because they are someones happy tears,

That God has sent to you.
