Words Of Wisdom Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

To my dearest family,
just some things I'd like to say
But first of all I'll let you know
that I arrived Okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven
as I dwell with God above,
Here there are no tears of sadness,
there is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight
Remember, I am with you
every morning, noon, and night.

That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said 'I welcome You'

'It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone'
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.'

'I need you here so badly
'cause you're part of My eternal plan,
There is so much that I have to do,
to help the mortal man.'

God gave me a small list of things
He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of His
was to watch and care for you.

So when you lie in bed at night
the days chores put to flight
Remember God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on this Earth
and all those loving years,
Because you're only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry,
for it does relieve the pain;
And remember there would be no flowers,
without a little rain.

I wish I could tell you all
what our Father now has planned
But if I were to tell you....
You wouldn't understand.

One thing is for certain,
though my life on Earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now....
then I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb,
But together we can make it,
taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too,
That as you give unto the World,
the World will give to you.

If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God that night
'My life is not in vain'

And now I am contented...
that my life was truly worthwhile
Knowing as I passed the day...
I made somebody smile,

So, if you meet somebody who is sad
and feeling very low
Just lend a hand to pick him up
as on your way you go.

When you are walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'll be walking in your footsteps
only just a ways behind

And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going....
Your coming home...to me!

God Loves You And So Do I! ! ! ! ! !
