Whispers From Heaven

?When I left this world without you I know it made you blue, Your tears fell so freely, I watched; I know this is true. While you were weeping, days after I passed away, while all was silent within me, I saw you kneel to pray. From this wonderful place called Heaven, where all my pain is gone. I send a gentle breeze to whisper, " My loved ones, please go on." The peace that I have found here goes far beyond compare, no rain, no clouds, no suffering - just LOVE from everywhere. You need not to be troubled, just stay close to God in prayer. Somebody we will be reunited, His love surrounds you always.
