Letters to Heaven

Letters to Heaven 

If heaven could receive letters what would you say 

So much to say since the day you slipped away 

I’d tell you that I’m doing fine and loving my life

It’s not all been perfect - I’ve had my share of strife.

I feel like you’ve been watching me from afar

I’d often stand, look up and imagine you’re a star

Our world stopped spinning on the day that you left. 

At times my heart hurt so much I felt utterly bereft 

But losing you made me a stronger day by day

I was angry and full of pain that you couldn’t stay 

But time has past and now I see that no-one lives forever 

Our time was precious and I have memories to treasure. 

I hope you are looking down and are proud of who I am

I will live a simple life and strive to be the best person I can 

I will tell my grandchildren what a great person you were

You will live on in my heart and I feel you’re always near.
