They say that life is fleeting I know that this is true I left this world so quickly With no goodbye to you. I know how much you miss me. Your tears fall ever light. The pillow where you lay your head Is wet with them at night. I know your heart is hurting, The words we left, unsaid. I love you's left unspoken Are spinning in your head.The strength that I have carried That served to make you whole Remains to make you stronger Within your grieving soul .For you see, while you were weeping On the day I passed away At the gravesite near the flowers Where my loved ones knelt to pray.An angel came to see me She took me by the hand She led me to a kingdom In a very distant land.As I look down from the heaven And see you standing thereYour heart so ever burdened With more weight than it can bear.I long to bring you comfort I long to give you peace I long to hold you closely Cause all your tears to cease.The joy I've found in heaven Goes far beyond compareThe love that's so elusive Can be found here everywhere.The light is softly shiningThere's no storm clouds here or rainThere's no teardrops found in heaven There's no suffering, there's no pain.You needn't be so troubled Stay close to God and pray That someday we'll be together One bright and glorious day.So my love, you shouldn't question My dear you need not cry I've gone to be with Jesus I really didn't die.
* Remembered Joy *
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And 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, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
