I wanted you to know...by Teresa Shelton Bright

I was sitting here in heaven and having a wonderful day.
I started to think about you and all the things I didnt get a chance to say.
I dont want you to worry about me and please dont shed any tears,
because I will wait for you here in heaven, if it takes a hundred years.
Everything I had on earth I have in heaven too
My first day here my body became brand new.
It is really pretty here and I love my new home.
Although your hearts are broken because my body is gone.
My love will always be there as you go along the way, just take a peek inside you heart there is where Ill stay.
Know that I loved my family and all my friends too,
My thoughts will be with each of you, your whole life through.
