AS I SIT IN HEAVEN

As I sit in Heaven, and watch you everyday
I try and let you know with signs, I never went away.
I hear you when your laughing, and I watch you as you sleep.
I even place my arms around you to calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home.
So I try to send you signs, so you know you're not alone.
Don't feel guilty that you have life, that was denied to me.
Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see!
So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free.
Then I'll know with every breath you take,
you'll be taking one for me!
