It' s good to have you back again 900 were missed Whie you
were gone. As for your dearest fan*. ttey'l be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plai.
There's so much that we have to do. to help our mortal man."
God gave me a liet of things that he wished for roe to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you
And when you le in bed at night the day's charts put to fight
God and I are closest to you _ in the middle of the night.
When you think of my IN on earth. and those loving yews,
Because you are only ham they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers. aims there was some ran.
I wish thatI could tel you. al that God hos plarned
If I were to tell you. you wouldn't underetand.
But one thing IS for certain. though my life is o'er.
rro closer to you now. than I ever was before.
\11.
There are (Daly rocky roads ahead of you and many hib to climb .
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd lire it for you too.
That as you give unto the world the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and in pairs
Then you can say to God at night:My day was not in vain."
And now I aro contentecLthat my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way. I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling bw:
Just lend a hand to pick him up. as on your way you go.
When you're waking down the street and you've got me on your mini
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go-from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going-you're coming here to me.
