You were not meant to save me

I wasn’t meant to stay

So please stop blaming yourself

Since I have gone away

My time on Earth was over

There’s something you should know

My soul had reached its Growth there

It was my time to go

Don’t cry for all the Could Have’s

The What If’s and If Only

Let go of all the guilt you hold

Then you won’t feel so lonely

I Graduated life there

And into Heaven’s light

I live within God’s peace here

My soul is perfectly Bright

Life there is but a chapter

Of a book that carries on

I’m just on the next page now

I really am not gone

The Angels up in Heaven

Help me watch you as you live

Your life there isn’t over yet

You have so much to give

Your life there will touch others

Just as my life there touched you

So be sure to touch them softly

And place love within their view

Just know this will make sense someday

We will look back and smile

You are just merely passing through

We only stay there for a while

So please hold on to my love

As you walk through life each day

And know that I am right here

And Right here, I’ll always stay
