If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I though of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s
gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

A Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family;
some things I'd like to say,
but first of all to let you know,
that I've arrived OK
I'm writing this from Heaven,
now I dwell with God above,
where there's no more tears or sadness,
there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy,
because I'm out of sight,
remember I'm still with you,
every morning, noon & night.
That day I had to leave you,
when my time on earth was through,
God picked me up & hugged me
& said 'I welcome you'
'It's good to have you back again,
you were missed when you were gone,
please know that your dear family,
will be here later on.
Here I need you badly,
to help me with my plan,
there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man'
God then gave me a list of things
he wished for me to do,
and foremost on my list from God,
was to watch and care for you.
So when you go to bed at night,
the days work all put right,
God & I are close to you
each moment through the night.
When you think of life, when I was there,
through all those loving years,
because you're only human
there are bound to be sore tears.
But do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain,
remember there could be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you,
of all that God has planned,
but there on earth we're limited
and cannot understand.
Still one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is through,
more than any time before,
I'm closer now to you.
Yes, there's rocky roads ahead for you,
and mountains yet to climb,
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy,
and I wish it for you too,
that as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
So if you can help somebody,
whose in sorrow or in pain,
then you can say to God at night,
my day was not in vain.
For I am so contented,
that my life was so worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along
I had made somebody smile.
So should you meet somebody,
who is sad or feeling low,
lend a hand to pick them up,
as on your way you go.
For as your walking in the street,
and I am on your mind,
I am walking in your footsteps,
just half a step behind,
then when It's time for you to go,
from your body to be free,
remember you're not going...
you're coming home to me.

We all miss you and love you loads

from all the family xxx
