My friend would have wanted me to write a letter
because he didnt know what to say
about the tragic thing that happened on August 16th, that day

 

Friend, I am lost for words,
  but I think I know what Grant Janszen would say.
That Jesus opened up His arms and took me away.

He would say, Mom tell everyone it will be all right,
because I’m still in their hearts, just not in their sights.
Up here with the other people, up here they look just like me,
we have fun all day and let us be.

So don’t be sad, don’t  cry, wipe away the tears,
I did get to be with you 15 ½ years.
Tell my Mom, it's okay and not to be sad
and to think of all the good times that we had.

Tell my brother and my sister to laugh,
have fun & be themselves,
because we will be back together again,
I know we will some day.

Tell Mom & Dad I know you miss me,
and I miss you too,
but up here in Heaven,
me and Jesus have a lot of work to do.

We’re  going to laugh when you laugh,
and cry when you cry,
I was on His lap
when you told me good bye.

He held my hand,
and led me into the light,
but I did not look back
as I enjoyed the flight.

Many didn’t see me
because I passed at home,
but I’m beautiful  now again,
and l’m all healed.

So stop crying, no more tears,
no more staying up all night,
just close your eyes
  and imagine me in the light.

Mom tell everyone, l'm thankful for what I had,
I’ll be waiting in Heaven to see you, Mom & Dad.
