Whispers from Heaven

They say that life is fleeting

I know that this is true

I left this world so quickly

With no goodbye to you. 

I know how much you miss me

Your tears fall ever light

The pillow where you lay your head

Is wet with them at night. 

I know your heart is hurting

The words we left, unsaid

I love you’s, left unspoken

Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried

That served to make you whole

Remains to make you stronger

Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping

On the day I passed away

At the gravesite near the flowers

Where my loved ones knelt to pray. 

An angel came to see me

She took me by the hand

She led me to a kingdom

In a very distant land.
