A Letter From Heaven (poem)
Author Unknown
"To my dearest family and friends, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you
know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this to you 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 because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning,
noon and night. That day that I had to leave you when my life on Earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and said,
"I welcome you. Its good to have you back again, you were missed while you where gone. As for your dearest family, they'll
be here later on. I need you here badly, you're part of my plan. There's so much we need 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 days chores out of sight, 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're 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 what God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing's 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 of you 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 work, 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 am contented...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 him up,
as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only
a half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free...remember you're not going...you're coming
here to me."
