When you stand beside my grave

With tear drops falling on your face

My arms are wrapped around you

You’re in my Heavenly Embrace

I hear the words you say to me

When you lie in bed at night

I whisper to you in your Dreams

You’ll never leave my Sight

I know you feel I left too soon

Although my time was truly done

And Please don’t give up on your life

It’s only Just Begun

The Angels up in Heaven say

You have lessons yet to learn

And God Still has some plans for you

It just wasn’t your turn

You see, in Heaven’s Timing

Everything happens as it should

I know you’re sad I left you

I would have stayed if I could

But my time on Earth was through

My lessons there were at an end

And now I’m up in Heaven

I am just around the Bend

For Heaven is so close to you

It’s not up in the sky

It isn’t past the Stars

It’s right next to you and I

And as you live your life without me

Please let me make it clear

I’m living life through your eyes

I will always be right here….
