Letter From Heaven
“I am writing this from heaven,
Where I dwell with God above.
Where there’s no more tears or sadness,
There is just eternal love.
The day I had to leave you,
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me,
And said “I welcome you”.
Please don’t be unhappy,
Just because I’m out of sight.
Remember that I’m with you,
Every morning, noon and night.
When you are walking down the street,
And have me on your mind.
I’m walking in your footsteps,
Only half a step behind.
And when you feel the gentle breeze,
Or the wind upon your face.
That’s me giving you a great big hug,
Or just a soft embrace.”
