Forever Loved & Forever Missed



Some things I'd like to say, but first I'd like to let you know I have arrived okay.
I am writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God.
Where there is no more tears or sadness, there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight.
Remember that I am with you 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 will be here later on.
I need you here so badly, as part of My big plan.
There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man.

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and comfort you.
And I will be beside you, every day, and week, and year.
And when you are sad, I am standing there to wipe away your tears.
And when you lie in bed at night, the days 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 were some rain.
I wish that I could tell you of 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 than ever before.

And as for my many friends, trust that God knows what is best.
I am still not far away from you, I am just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead of you 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, so the World will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is 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 somebody smile.
So if you meet someone who is down and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way you go.
When you are walking down the streets and you have me
on your mind, I am walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.

And when you feel the gentle breeze or wind upon your face,
that's me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace.
And when it is time for you to go from that body,
remember you are not going, you are coming here to me.
And I will always love you from that land way up above.
We will be in touch soon again.

P.S. God sends his Love.
