For He hath said, "I will never
leave thee,
nor forsake thee."
Matt. 13:56
I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me , for now
I'm free
I'm following the path God laid
for me.
I took His hand when I heard
him call;
I turned my back and left it
all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or
play.
Tasks left undone must stay
that way;
I found that place at the close
of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered
joy.
A friendship shared a laugh,
a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too
will miss.
Be not burdened with times of
sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored
much;
Good friends, good times,
a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to
brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue
grief.
Lift up your heart and share
with me,
God wanted me now, He set me
free.

The Best
God saw he was getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around him
and whispered
"Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched
him suffer
and saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove
to us
He only takes the best.

LETTER FROM HEAVEN
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.
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
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.

When I’m Gone
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had those precious years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me call, and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near,
And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say, “Welcome Home”
