Please do not be unhappy,

just because I’m out of sight,

remember I am with you,

every morning noon and night.

The day I had to leave you,

when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me,

and said I welcome you.

I will be beside you,

every day, week and year,

and when you’re sad I’m standing there

to wipe away the tear.

To my very many friends,

trust God knows what is best,

I’m still not far away from you,

I’m just beyond the crest.

And when you are walking down the

street and you’ve got me on your mind,

I’m walking in your footsteps

only half a step behind.

There are rocky roads ahead of you,

and many hills to climb,

but together we can do it,

taking one day at a time.
