How does a loving mother, explain heaven to her dying child?

Please give me the words, O lord, and let me say them with a smile...

There is a place where GOD is watching,

His heart so full of love.

He watches all his children, son, He watches you and me,

He wants to know we love him, and hopes that will be...

Always strong and healthy, always kind and free!

But, sometimes, things do happen, son,

and sickness takes a hold,

It might be something serious, it might be just a cold.

GOD sends his special angels, to watch over us and pray,

And, by our side the linger, they are never far away.

They lift us up one angel's wings when we are all too weak,

And oh!, they pray so softly, son, with gentle whispers do they speak.

So, have no fear, my darling,

Should GOD come to take you Home,

For it is up there in that heaven, son, where you will run and laugh and roam!

You will hear that angel choir rejuice inpraises to the lord,

And, my darling precious child, you never will be sick, again... No, never, anymore!!

But, most of all, you will meet the king,

Our saviour, your best friend, Oh, my!,

If i could see him take your hand, i know that i would cry!!

You have fought so long, you gave your all..

GOD says it's time to rest, we will always love and miss you,Ellis,

But GOD...he knows what's best!
