To My
Dearest Family,
I see
tears fall down your face,
When your thoughts
have turned to me.
Just know that I'm in heaven,
With my Lord, who's set me
free.
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For you can't feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
and love you very much.
When you are at your lowest,
And feel you can't go on,
Look towards the heavens,
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me just like you did
on earth, when I was there.
You see, I'm not just so far
away...
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it's time for you to
join me up in heaven above.
It's then that you will
realize,
the golden place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined
again,
when it's time to take your
flight.
Roger
