Letter from Heaven

To Mommy & Daddy

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

where I dwell with God above

where there’s no more tears or sadness

there is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight,

remember that I’m 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 as part of My big plan.

There’s so much that 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 care for you.

And I will be beside you every day and week and year

and when you’re sad I’m standing there

to wipe away the 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 the missing years,

because you’re 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 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’re,

I am closer to you now than I ever was before,

And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best

I’m still not far away from you I’m 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.

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 somebody who is down and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go.

When you are 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 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.

And when it’s time for you to go from that body to be free,

remember you’re not going,

you are coming here to me.

And I will always love you from that land way up above.

Will be in touch again soon...

P.S. God sends His Love

Cradling Song

We cannot care for you the way we wanted,

or cradle you or listen to your cry;

but separated as we are by silence,

love will not die.

We cannot watch you growing into childhood,

and find a new uniqueness every day;

but special as you would have been among us,

you still will stay.

We cannot know the pain or the potential

which passing years would summon or reveal;

but for that true fulfilment Jesus promised

we hope and feel.

So through the mess of anger, grief and tiredness,

through tensions which are not yet reconciled,

we give to God the worship of our sorrow

and our dear child.

Lord, in your arms which cradle all creation

we rest and place or baby beyond death

believing that s/he now, alive in heaven,

breathes with your breath.
