Looking Down From Heaven
I'm looking down from heaven Mommy
I don't like to see you cry
I remember how you loved me
I did not want to say good-bye.
I don't ever get very lonely
Jesus rocks me to sleep
I play with the other little angels
From cloud to cloud we leap
There's a new little angel here
His mommy is very sad
Her heart is surely broken
And like you, she hurts so bad.
Could you do something for me Mommy?
If it's not to much to ask?
You were always so gentle and kind to me
So I know you are up to the task.
You see, I'm trying to help this angel
He misses his Mommy so
And as we look down together from heaven
There's something you should know.
We will soon be all together
But there is time to pass till then
Could you hold her a little while
And try to be her friend?
We don't like to see you crying
Up here in angel land
So instead of pointing fingers
Could you please just take her hand?
It will make us both feel better
As we look down from up above
If you all are holding up each other
And remembering us with love.
I'm Here

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peek.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you so softly, as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I 'm well, I'm fine, I'm here"
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today. You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walk with you towards the house; you fumbled with your key.
I put my paw upon you, I smiled and said " Its me."
You looked so very tired and sank into a chair.
I tried to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be, so near to you each day,
To say to you with certainty, " I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over..I smile and watch you yawning say "Goodnight,
God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you, to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand there, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient., live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right
and yours is in the Light."

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for everytime you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
