God's Will

Although I've left you,
Remember I'm in a heavenly place
I'm resting and mingling with the Angels
I'm enjoying my father's embrace

Put a smile on your face
Hold you head up high
For it is only God's will
There is no need to cry

There is no need to grieve here
or feel sorry for me
My pain and suffering is over
God has set me free

No man knows the second, minute, nor hour
That God will come
Be ready at all times
For God's will shall be done

For it was God's will
That I humbly answered his call
God knew I needed rest
So, rejoice with me you all.

In Loving Memory
of
Our Father, Grandfather

To My Family
Let Me Go

Le me go now, don't you think the time is right? I have said goodbye to pain filled days and lonely nights.
I have lived my life and done my best.
I didn't want to go at first. I fought with all my might.
But something seemed to draw me to a warm loving light.
I heard my name and it was difficult to stay.
I know you all are sad and afraid because I went on.
I will not be far, that I promise and I hope you all know
that I am with you wherever you may go.
Thank you all so much for loving and taking care of me.
It was so hard to say goodbye, but my heavenly father has shown me the way.
My family let me go today.
I am home now, walking around Heaven.
