Care of Heaven

Hello dear friend – so – what’s new? Tell me - How have you been? There’s so much I want to share with you But I hardly know where to begin The news from here’s both good and bad But life can be like that, I suppose Most things are going well, though we’re all still sad When we’ll be through missing you - no one knows Are you an Angel looking down on me? Or have you become part of eternity? This letter will travel very far By air-mail – on the wings of a dove She’ll turn left at the Northern Star Watch for her flying high above With an envelope addressed “Care of Heaven” I’ve sent it to you, with my love Tell me - do you slumber, do you still dream? Can you float on clouds all day long? Have they got more than 31 flavors of ice cream? Does a harp now accompany you in song? Have you ever seen the face of God? Are the streets truly paved with gold? Do you spend your summers in Cape Cod Head for Tahiti when the weather turns cold? I know it’s silly to go on this way But I wish you were with me today This letter will travel very far By air-mail – on the wings of a dove She’ll turn left at the Northern Star Watch for her flying high above With an envelope addressed “Care of Heaven” I’ve sent it to you, with my love Sometimes, at the end of the day I think I hear you softly say: “I’m still here - I haven’t gone away” Is that my heart playing tricks on me? Remember that park - the one with the pine trees? It’s as beautiful as it was back then Whenever I visit I have sweet memories And pray that we’ll see each other again And so, dear friend, you’ll always be missed I seal this envelope with a kiss This letter has traveled very far By air-mail – on the wings of a dove I’ll think of you always, wherever you are And picture you somewhere high above Happy to be in the Care of Heaven Enfolded in infinite love
