    I didn't write this but it is certainly one of my favourite poems and has helped me through some tough times. Just thought I'd share it. I think it answers alot of questions that are asked after the death of a loved one and it is very easy to read. I have no idea who wrote it, have looked into it a bit but still no joy, anyway on to the poem..

    To my dearest family some things I’d like to say,
    But first of all to let you know that I arrived ok.
    I’m writing this from heaven where I dwell with god above,
    Where there’s no more tears or sadness there is just eternal love
    Please don’t be unhappy just because I’m out of sight,
    Just remember that I’m with you every morning noon and night.

    That night 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 as part of my big plan,
    There’s so much that we have to do to help our mortal man.

    Then god gave me a list of things he wished for me to do,
    And foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
    And I will be beside you every day and week and year,
    And when you’re sad I’m standing there to wipe away your tears.
    And when you lie in bed at night the day’s chores put to flight,
    God and I are closest in the middle of the night.

    When you think of my life on earth and those few loving years,
    Because you’re only human they are bound to bring you tears.
    But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain,
    Remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain.
    I wish that I could tell you of all that god has planned,
    But if I were to tell you that you wouldn’t understand.

    But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o’er,
    I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
    And to my very many friends, trust God knows what is best,
    I’m still not far away from you I’m just beyond the crest.
    There are rocky roads ahead of you and so many hills to climb,
    But together we can do 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 so the world will give to you.
    If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow or in pain,
    Then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
    And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,
    Knowing that as I passed along I made somebody smile.

    So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low,
    Just lend a hand to pick them up as on your way you go.
    When you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,
    I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
    And when you feel that gentle breeze or the wind upon your face,
    That’s me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.

    And when it’s time for you to leave that body and be free,
    Remember you’re not going you are coming here to me.
    And I will always watch you from this land way up above,
    Until we meet again I will be sending all my love.
