To my dearest family,
                            Some things I'd like to say
                           But first of all to let you know
                               That I arrived O.K.

                           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 the 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 those loving 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

                            If you can help somebody
                            Who's 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 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 that 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
