Words a Mother Never Heard (Wattys2016)

Letter From Heaven

This was not written by Nichole. I do not know the authors name.  It makes me smile through the tears. I wish I could say I remember who gave it to me, but I can't. Here it is.

To my dearest family

Some things I would like to say,

But first of all to let you know

That I arrived ok.

I'm writing this from heaven

Where I dwell with God above,

Here there's no more tears or sadness

There is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy

Just because I'm out of sight.

Remember I am with you

Every morning, noon and night.

That day that I had to leave you

When my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me

And he said, "I welcome you

It's good to have you back again

You were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family,

They'll be here later on.

I need you here so badly

As part of my big plan.

There's so much that we have to do

To help our mortal man."

Then God gave me a list of things

He wished for me to do.

And foremost on that list of mine

Is to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you

Every day and week and year,

And when you're sad

I'm standing there to wipe away the tears.

And when you lie in bed at night

The days chore put to flight

God and I are closest to you

In the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth

And all those loving years,

Because you're only human

They're bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry

It does relieve the pain.

Remember, there would be no flowers

Unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you

Of all that God had planned,

But if I were to tell you,

You would not understand.

And to my many friends trust

God knows what is best.

I'm still not very far away from you

I'm just beyond the crest.

And now I am contented that my life

It was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along the way

I made someone smile.

When you're walking down the street

And you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.

And when you feel that gentle breeze

Or the wind upon your face,

That's me giving you a great big hug

Or just a soft embrace.

And when it's time for you to go

From that body to be free,

Remember, you're not going,

You are coming here to me.

And I will always love you

From that land way up above.

I'll be in touch again soon.

P.S. GOD SENDS HIS LOVE!

I find a lot of comfort in knowing that I will get to see Nichole again. I know she is with me, sometimes I can just feel her. Other times I catch a faint smell of lilac and I know it's her. It has taken me many years to be able to laugh about things she use to do. Even though I can laugh, it does not in any way mean it hurts less.

If you have lost someone close to you, I believe with all my heart you will see them again. It's ok to be happy down here on earth, they are happy in Heaven and would want that for you.
