To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say
but first of all,to let you know, that I arrived ok
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 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 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 would'nt understand
but one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over, I'm
closer to you now,
than I ever was before
there are many rocky roads ahead ofyou 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'm contended, 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 them up, as on your way you go
when your 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 it's time for you to go, from that body to be free
remember your not going, your coming here to me.
