LETTER FROM HEAVEN
(Author Unknown)

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 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.
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 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 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
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.
