Brooke's Journey

Her Journey Has Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away, her journey has just begun. Life
holds so many facets, this earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a
place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years.

Think of how she must be wishing that we could know, today, how
nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched for
nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I’m writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God
above.
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness; Here is just
eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight.
Remember that 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 badly, you’re part of my plan.
There’s so much that we have to do, to help our mortal
man.”

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day’s chores put to
flight.
God and I are closest to you…in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving
years.
Because you are 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 all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is
over.
I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills
to climb;
But together we can do it by 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 and pain;
Then you can say to God at night…
“My day was not in vain.”

And now I am contented…that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

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

When you’re 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 it’s time for you to go…
From that body to be free.
Remember you’re not going…
You’re coming here to me.

When loneliness over takes us,
Abandoned we may feel.
May feel that we are all alone,
And tears we can't conceal.

It's time like this to remember,
That we are not alone.
We can take comfort in knowing,
God sees us from His throne.

He promises to be with us,
God's promises are true.
He said he'd never forsake us,
These words we can cling to.

He's with us through all the good
times,
With us through the bad.
Is there when we are joyful and,
Whenever we are sad.

We can lean on God's promises,
When loneliness we feel.
He will let us feel His love and
strength,
And joy that is so real!
