Matt Was Needed In Heaven

Matt was needed in heaven, to lead the ones who were lost.
His smile, those blue eyes, that lively look. 
Who would not run to him?
He helps children cross over.
Tiny angels are confused at first.
When they see him, they instantly light up.

Older people trust Matt immediately. 
He is their guide to the pearly gates.
He is wise and wonderful, and they love talking to him.
He is a great listener too, and full of information they need.
Who better to guide young men?
Who better to show young women the way?
Matt was needed in heaven, to lead the ones who were lost.

O, Beautiful, Caren! And my sweet Laurie, who passed five years ago, guides and heals the children who have died and been maimed in wars. They need her gentleness. Such a wonderful insight. I hope you are healing well from losing Matt.

Quite true, actually. Many souls find it difficult to transit into God’s domain of light, since they’re earth bound yet, after death. Happens more in sudden death cases
