DON'T YOU THINK THE TIME IS RIGHT? CAN HE SAY GOOD-BYE TO PAIN-FILLED DAYS AND ENDLESS LONELY NIGHTS? 
HE LIVED MY LIFE AND Dl D MY BEST, AN EXAMPLE TRIED TO BE. 
SO HE TAKE THAT STEP BEYOND AND SET MY SPIRIT FREE? 
HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO AT FIRST, HE FOUGHT WITH ALL MY MIGHT. 
BUT SOMETHING SEEMS TO DRAW ME NOW 
TO A WARM AND LOVING LIGHT. 
HE WANTED TO GO. HE REALLY DID. IT'S DIFFICULT TO STAY. 
BUT HE WILL TRY AS BEST I CAN TO LIVE JUST ONE MORE DAY, 
TO GIVE YOU TIME TO CARE FOR HIM AND SHARE YOUR LOVE AND FEARS. 
HE KNOWS YOU'RE SAD AND SO AFRAID , 
BECAUSE HE SAW OUR TEARS. 
HE WON'T BE FAR, HE PROMISED THAT, AND HOPE YOU'LL ALWAYS KNOW THAT HIS SPIRIT WILL BE CLOSE TO US , WHEREVER WE GO. 
HE THANKED US FOR LOVING HIM AND WE KNOW HE LOVED US TOO 
THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE 
AND END THIS LIFE WITH YOU. 
SO HOLD ME NOW, JUST ONE MORE TIME AND LET ME HEAR YOU SAY, BECAUSE YOU CARED SO MUCH FOR HIM , YOU'LL LET ME GO TODAY. 
Your daughter. " Yosland" Smpture:John 11:25
