And now a Poem:

An Angel whispered, "Take my hand and come with me; your work here is done."

I went away to a place where there's no tears nor sorrow, only 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 angels sing a heavenly song.

I am not alone. All who went before are here; they awaited my return.

I know you'll grieve and wish I was still here. I am here in the memories you hold dear.

Remember how much I love you, and know I took your love with me.

I did not wish for you to cry nor feel sad. My pain is gone and I am free!
