    FROM HEAVEN ABOVE Dear loved ones, I have only a moment, So please let me speak. I want to say, "don't worry", Because life up here is great. I can't wait for you to see the beauty of heaven, But I know it's not your time. I really miss you guys, But I know you'll be just fine. You know I can see you right, So please hold onto the light. I'm perfectly fine up here with the King, So wipe away your tears and sing. I'll be watching your every move, Relax! I won't spill your beans. But stop all those sinful things you do, Because you know there's nothing He can't see. I am waiting for you to meet me, So put a smile on your face, there is no fear. Keep God in your heart, He will keep you safe and remove all your cares. I know you miss me, It's really hard not to. But know, there's no need for grieving, Because we're having a party in the sky. I am blessed to have you as my family, Yes...... I am truly blessed. You walked with me through my earthly life, But it was time to let go and let God do the rest. He's an awesome Father, And an even better friend, So I'm in great hands, And on Him you can also depend. I want to say so many things, But I really have to go now. Today I'm getting my wings, And I am ready to fly. Bye my loves, I love you forever and a day! Know in your heart, I am never far away. And when you miss me, Touch the Father's hand. There I will be Forever and full of love for YOU! Children of the Living God by Fernando Ortega https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPjljSC_1XE
