To The Family
Please try not to be sad for me,
Try to understand God is taking care of me
I'm in the shelter of His hands,
Here there is no sadness, no sorrow and no pain.
Here there is no crying and I'll never hurt again.
Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing.
I really have to go now, I’ve got to try my wings
