Heaven got much brighter on the day that I walked in

I want to tell you so much now, so where do I begin?

You worried deeply on that day that you’d forget my smile

Or that you’d never find another day in life worth while

You thought that when I passed that day that future days you’d dread

The first thing I should tell you is my spirit is not dead

The things that held me back in life no longer have a hold

And I am young and vibrant for in Heaven we’re not old

The dreams I had in life have now been placed within my hand

For in Heaven we are miracles in a perfect loving land

I now know that I knew you long before the life we shared

Time for us does not exist our life here cannot be compared

I’m happy now in Heaven more than you could comprehend

Though you will always be my heart, my soul, and simply my best friend

When oceans fall upon your cheeks and smiles can’t be found

Just know that I am at your side, for Heaven’s all around

Someday these words will all make sense and you’ll be happy too

Until that day, live life and smile for I live life through you
