TO MY FAMILY FROM MUM X
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 are no tears and 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, you were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on,
There’s so much that we need to do to help our mortal man,
Then God gave me a list of things, he wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you
I will be beside you every day, week and year
Then when you’re sad I’m right there to wipe away your tears
And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight
God and I are closer to you in the middle of the night
And when you think of my life on earth and all those living 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
Just remember there would be no flowers, unless they had some rain
I wish that I could tell all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand
But although one thing is certain, my life on earth is over
I am closer to you now, than I ever was before
And to all 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 step 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 someone who’s in sorrow and in pain
Then you can say to God each night, your day was not in vain
And now I feel contented, that my life was worth while
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody who is feeling down and low
Just lend a hand to pick them up as on your merry way you go
When you are walking down the road and I am on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps just half a step behind
And when you feel that gentle breeze or 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 and be free
Remember your not just going, your coming here to me
Please don’t cry too much and feel so sad
Because times up here are really not so bad
And I will always love you, from this land way up above
So until we all meet up again, I send you all my love
