Reply to "Letter from Heaven"

 

My Dearest Loved one:

 

I received your Letter from Heaven,

It made the teardrops fall.

But knowing you’re with God above,

Sweet memories, I will recall.

 

I know that you are with me,

For I feel your presence near.

And if I listen closely,

Your voice I then can hear.

 

I know you’re watching o’er me,

As you promised you would do.

And when I feel so saddened,

It’s your letter that sees me through.

 

When I lay in bed at night,

The day’s chores put to flight,

I truly feel your presence,

Like a warm and glowing light.

 

 The rocky roads you mentioned,

And the hills that I must climb;

I’ve done exactly what you said,

By taking one day at a time.

 

I’ve tried to help others,

Who are in sorrow and in pain.

And now I am contented,

My day was not in vain.

 

I’ll lend a hand, as you have said

When someone is feeling low.

I’ll pray for them and be here,

‘Till on their way they go.

 

And when it’s time for me to go,

To join you in heaven high.

My wings I shall spread wide,

To my home up in the sky.
