CROSSING OVER

Oh, please don't feel guilty

It was just my time to go

I see you are still feeling sad,

And the tears just seem to flow.

We all come to earth for our lifetime,

And some it's not many years

I don't want you to keep crying

You are shedding too many tears

I haven't really left you

Even though it may seem so

I have just gone to my heavenly home,

And I'm closer to you than you know.

Just believe than when you say

my name I'm standing next to you.

I know you long to see me,

But here's there's nothing I can do.

But still I'll send you messages

And hope you understand.

That when your time comes to

"Cross Over, I'll be there

to take your hand."
