When I Die

When I Die, Know I Am Alive!
I will not be gone.
I will be with you.
Forever, with you.

I will not be in darkness
I will not be alone.

I will look down and I will see you.
I will feel your spirit and your anguish.

I will look down upon my earthly body.
It is merely flesh, destroyed by living life as a mortal.
It is void of my soul, and empty of my spirit...an empty house.

When you come to see me.
Know that will not be me lying there....lifeless and still?

When you look at me, do not think of me as dead.
I will be alive when you see me, alive!

I did not "die"...I am soaring!
God's promise.
Life Eternal.

Look UP!
See me.
I will be in the light.
I will be with the angels.

Please know this to be true.
The angels surround me!

I will reach out to you as you grieve.
From the heavens, my arms will encircle your spirit.

I will whisper a prayer for you on the winds, and 
I will comfort you with God's everlasting love and power.

I am forever in God's heavenly presence.
