The Letter

The Letter
A letter fell from heaven and it landed at my door.
The letter had a message - Cry for me no more.
As I was reading the message, I knew it came
from you.
Where do the souls of our love ones go when they
leave this world? We cry, we suffer and our hearts
are broken, because we won't see them anymore.
The days pass and the months, soon turn into years.
Little by little the pain becomes less. But we still ask
ourselves - where do the souls go?
The souls go to their destiny. God has a special place
for them. We want to think that everything ends here-
that one day we just go to sleep and we wake up
in a beautiful place called heaven.
I know now that you are in heaven and that you also
watch over me. One day when God calls me - we will
reunite again. You say that you are happy, that you
feel no more pain.
You tell me not to worry, to go on with my life. This is
just what I will do and whenever I feel sad - I will open
up the letter and read the message again. It is time to
say - good bye dear - I have a smile on my face, because
now I know that you are in a very special place...
