You ask me to stay, if
Only for one more day.
I wish I could, but it's time for me
to go.

Please don't cry, for
I could never really
leave you.

Close your eyes, feel my
warm embrace, my kiss upon
your brow. Don't worry, I'll
always be here.

As the spring rain softly falls,
the trees begin to bud and the
flowers begin to bloom, I'll
be there.

As the summer breeze cools you,
and the children laugh and
play, I'll be there.

As the leaves begin to turn their
bright wondrous colors, I'll
be there.

As the snow gently falls,
covering the earth in
a soft blanket of
white, I'll be there.

Look into my
grandchildren's eyes,
see them smile,
hear them laugh,
I'll be there.

So cry now, if you must, but
remember your tears are for
you, not for me.

I've gone home to live with
God, and one day soon I'll be
standing at Heaven's gates, my
arms opened wide to welcome
you home, where we'll all be
together again.

An Angel whispered,
"Take my hand and
come with me;
your work here is done."

I went away to a place
where there's no tears nor sorrow,
only laughter and smiles.
There will always be a tomorrow.

As I move amongst the clouds.
I'll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.

I am not alone.
All who went before
are here;
they awaited my return.

I know you'll grieve
and wish I was still here.
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.

Remember how much I
love you,
and know I took your
love with me.

I did not wish for
you to cry nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am free!

Soon you'll come to me.
Until then,
God will be with you
Just as He's with me.
