Please don't feel guilty.
I was chosen, it's my time to go.
I see you are feeling sad.
I can see the tears starting to flow.
My life's journey ended early,
the time I spent seemed too short.
I haven't really left the people I love,
I'm closer than you know I'm in the colors and a beautiful sunset.
I'll be everywhere you go.
One day You will see.
I felt every bit of love,
that the loved one sent to me. When your time on earth is done, that day you will understand, because when your time is over, I'll be the one waiting…waiting to take your hand.
