Letter From Heaven
Hey everybody,
I hope this doesn’t reach you too late.
I don’t want you to worry,
Because life up here is great.

I can’t wait for you to see the beauty of heaven,
But I know it’s not your time.
I really miss you guys,
But I know you’ll be just fine.

You know I can see you right,
So please stop shedding tears.
You guys, I’m perfectly fine,
So conquer all your fears.

I’ll be watching your every move.
Relax! I won’t spill your beans.
But stop all those naughty things you do,
Because you know there’s nothing He can’t see.

I need you to come here to meet me,
But not if you misbehave,
So please keep God in your heart,
And you’ll be safe and saved.

Hey guys I know you miss me.
It’s really hard not to.
But please, please stop grieving,
Because you’re making me sad too.

You guys have been a great family,
And I am truly blessed.
You’ve raised me through my earthly life,
Now God will do the rest.

He’s really a great person,
And an even better friend,
So I’m in great hands,
And on Him you can also depend.

Oh boy, I’m getting carried away.
I want to say so many things,
But I really have to go now,
Because today I’m getting my wings.

Bye you guys, love you forever and a day!

P.S.: Be good. I’ll be watching!!!
