A Heartbeat Away.

I want you to know that I love you,
It is just that I've gone on ahead,
Please put a smile upon your face,
Think of the things that we've said.

Remember the jokes that we laughed at,
Remember both the good and the bad,
Please think of me often and fondly,
And try not to feel too sad.

The closeness we had, the love we shared,
Is the cause of the pain that you feel,
You wouldn't change those precious things,
As time passes the sharp hurt will heal.

I may not be still there amongst you,
But I am only just a moment away,
In spirit I am right there beside you,
And my love with you always will stay.

Look at my things that surround you,
Don't let them make you feel sad,
Remember how much I enjoyed them,
And treasure the things I once had.

Remember the things I believed in,
God is caring for me and for you,
Count your blessings, is no idle phrase,
They plant love's precious seeds anew.

Remember that others are hurting too,
You're never alone, God's there every day,
Reach out, help each other, never forget
I am only a moment, a heartbeat away.
