Gone Away An Angel whisperedtake my hand andcome with meyou're work here is done.I went away to a placewhere there's no tears, nor sorrowonly laughter and smiles,there will always be a Tomorrow.As I move amongst the clouds.I'll look down and smile upon you,while the angelssing a heavenly song.I am not aloneall who went beforeare herethey awaited my return.I know you'll grieveand wish I was still hereI am here in the memoriesyou hold dear.Remember how much Ilove youand know I took yourlove with me.I did not wish for you to cry, nor feel sad.My pain is gone andI am Free!Soon you'll come to meuntil thenGod will be with youJust as He's with me.
