From Heaven
I am sending you this letter
From a place that is better
Heaven is so peaceful
I am so grateful.
But just remember my dear
Be happy no more tears
I know you miss me
But live your life and see
Time goes so fast
Don't waste it being downcast
Be happy for the times we had
Don't waste your days by being sad.
We will see each other again
And for eternity we will remain
So fulfill your purpose on the earth
And you will find in heaven a rebirth!
Keep Believing
Keep believing cause it is true
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me."
What a promise, don't be blue.
We will reunite again, please believe
And, oh what a joyous day, just wait and see!
Quickly time goes by, don't waste your years
Smile when you think of me, please no tears.
Even though we are temporarily apart
I will always be in your heart
I will watch over you
Be happy in all you do!
Christian Poems of Comfort
Know That I Am Here
I'm up here in the clouds,
Where the sky is always blue.
I'm looking down upon you,
And I know you're feeling blue too.
So when you're feeling lonely,
Just look up to the sky.
And know that I am with you,
And I'll never say goodbye.
For though I may be gone,
My love will never die.
It will live on forever,
In every tear you cry.
So don't be sad, my dear,
For I am always near.
Just close your eyes and feel me,
And know that I am here.
Plant A Tree
Plant a tree and watch it grow
It will remind you how I love you so
Although we are apart
Memories you have will never part.
Let the little tree remind you
I'm in heaven watching over you
So please don't be blue
Remember all the happy times too.
The tree is a symbol of life
Good times and times of strife
I send this letter from heaven for you
A place that is beautiful and true.
So as the wind blows through the tree
Remember that I am now free
The day will come when together again
But you have a purpose on earth that is not the end.
Heaven Poems
Fan With Bright Wings
From all wilt thou part in joy, not in sorrow -
Oh! light be thy heart on thy bridal tomorrow.
And now in that home at morn and at even,
When swells the glad song of thanksgiving to Heaven,
One voice will be mute, one sweet song unspoken,
One string of the lute, one silver chord broken.
Thy place at the board - thy seat by the fire -
The duties of love to thy fond-hearted sire -
Thy sisters so dear, thy kind, loving brothers,
Thou'rt leaving them all, for thy heart is another's!
Oh, truly and well may he cherish and love thee -
May Hope's sunny spell shine ever above thee!
May Memorys chain thrown brightly around thee.
Oft bring thee again to the home where he found thee.
And when comes the spring with its sunshine and flowers
Again may'st thou sing in thine own woodland bowers.
From thy casement again in the soft hours of even
May'st thou gaze on die stars shining ever in Heaven.
Through the whispering grove, the lake and the river.
Again may'st thou rove as joyous as ever.
Thou hast listened the spell of the woodland and water
They have whispered farewell to their loveliest daughter.
But with thee I'll go through joy and through sorrow.
And fan with bright wings every cloud from tomorrow.
Don't Shed Tears
My dear, please don’t shed tears for me,
I’m safe, at peace, and finally free.
The worries of life, the pain and the strife,
Are gone—I’ve stepped into eternal life.
I see your sorrow, I feel your ache,
But know, dear one, this is no mistake.
God called me home, my time was through,
Yet my love, it still lives on in you.
I walk through fields so bright and fair,
With golden light and love to spare.
No suffering here, no fear, no pain,
Only joy that will remain.
So when you miss me, lift your eyes,
I’m in the stars, the moon, the skies.
I’m in the breeze that softly flows,
The morning sun, the rose that grows.
Though we’re apart, don’t say goodbye,
For love like ours will never die.
One day, when your journey’s through,
I’ll be right here, waiting for you.
