Sometimes I hear you say “If only”

I hear you say, “If I had just…..”

I know you wish yourself to Heaven

It’s not your time now and continue you must

If you could see me here I’m happy

In Heaven there’s no pain in sight

We live life here in pure perfection

As we’re surrounded by God’s light

Please do not carry guilt and anger

As they place tarnish on your heart

Please carry my pure love instead

For we are never far apart

Please live your life there to its fullest

Yes, you have living yet to do

Your lessons there, they must continue

My lessons there were simply through

There’s nothing more you could have done

To change the way I passed that day

It’s not up to the ones we love

To chose the time we go away

So fill your heart with love and light

And shine your light for all to see

I’m skipping right here at your side

Cheering you on, for all you’ll be

Someday this all will make more sense

For now I know it’s hard on you

Please know I’m loving you from here

Yes, I’ll be here to see you through

We’ll be together once again

Someday when your time there is done

Your soul will be perfect like mine

And we will once again be one
