Dearest Michele and family, I am so deeply sorry that your husband passed but you know he is in a peaceful and kinder place. He will always be watching over you and the children.
To You From Your Husband:
If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, my Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eyes a tear.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I’ll not be far away,
With petals of love and tenderness,
I’ll pave for you the way.
To join me in our sanctuary,
And ne’er again we’ll part.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I live within your heart.
Take joy again in living,
As you did in years gone by;
God knows what of he’s doing,
And not be questioned why.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
My life with you on earth
Each moment filled with happiness,
And love so few be worth.
I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart
Where skys are ever blue,
With eager heart and open arms
Patiently, for you.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
May faith and my love keep.
Your soul filled with contentment
Eternally, I sleep.
For the Children
Happy little angels
Laid down their harps one day,
‘Cause word arrived that Daddy
Was coming up to stay.
Now all the little angels
And all the big ones too
Remembered how they’d watched on earth
Things that daddy’d do.
So they didn’t get the rocker,
Nor his slipper soft and gray,
But gathered all the stars that shine
In the Milky Way.
Some of them were tarnished
And needed to be brushed,
And some were softly weeping
And needed to be hushed.
Many a little angel
Had tales he could tell
Of the many little hurts
That somehow daddy made well.
God gave him lots of patience
And extra energy,
That all his days on earth
He’d serve his family.
So all the little angels
That had things to be done
Clustered all around the daddy
On his celestial throne.
And daddy’s eyes were smiling
And his eyes were full of mirth
For he knew he’d be as happy
In HEAVEN as he was on EARTH
