As I sit in heaven
And watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear you when youre laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you as you sleep
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs
So you know you are not alone
Dont feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
Youll be taking one for me . . .

On the surface, it is comforting to think our loved ones are looking down on us. But, am I the only one who thinks that it would be unbearably painful for them to watch us and not be able to hold their grandchildren or help us through our sadnesses and difficulties? I tend to hope they are spared all that.

I love it!. Yes I feel they do watch over us and are all surrounded with love and peace. They send us love to be even more loving! Beautiful poem!!

How to...

Laugh with a broken heart,
Think with a foggy brain,
See with teary eyes,
Free from endless pain?
