For Those I Left Behind

I have not gone far... I still see...

Those tears you shed... are for me...

I am not unhappy... I am not sad...

I just thank God... For all we had...

I did not choose... To go away

But God told me... I couldn't stay...

He reached for me... with loving care

Come with me child... If you dare...

Reach out your arms... to those below...

Blow them a kiss... So they will know...

Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...

Let them know you are safe... and happy now...

Now dry your eyes... And remember me...

For where I am... Was meant to be...

To you that I have left behind...

The love we shared... Will always bind...

If a breeze should pass... Across your brow...

Remember where it came from... And how...
