Please don't think that I'm gone,I'm in heaven

And my life here has only begun

Please just smile when you think of my memory

For I'll always be your loving son

Please look back on the times that you taught me

What I need in this life to succeed

I know sometimes that I was a challenge

But you taught me don't follow just lead

And I know that my life wasn't perfect

I took life by the horns without fear

Please know now that I'm perfect in heaven

I still love you mom and I'm right here

I'll be here wrapping my soul around you

When you feel that you're missing my touch

I'm right here drying tears upon your cheeks

Please just know that I love you so much

And when you think you're living without me

When you feel that you're loosing your way

I'll be here shining light upon your path

Follow me Mom, I'll show you the way

And some day when you meet me in Heaven

And your tears you will no longer cry

You won't wonder if I am ok Mom

You will finally stop asking God why

You'll see then that I'm perfect in heaven

But for now please just trust what I say

Live your life to its fullest potential

Make me proud, try to smile each day

For the legacy that I have left you

Was not meant to be sadness and tears

Please just smile now when you think of me Mom

And let go of your sadness and fears

I'll send signs as I watch you from heaven

Little things that remind you of me

So have faith that we will be together

For together again mom we'll be
