Jessie Burns

To my dearest family and friends,

I just wanted to say,

An angel came and took my hand,

And led me on my way.

She brought me here to heaven,

To dwell with the Lord above,

Where there is no more pain or sorrow,

Only happiness, joy and love.

I did not want to leave you,

I did not want to go.

I love you all so dearly,

More than you’ll ever know.

I know your heart is aching,

And your eyes are filled with tears.

But God has been so good to me,

In my life of …. years.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,

The way you did today.

For no one born unto the earth,

Was ever meant to stay.

But don’t think of me as gone away,

We’re never far apart.

For every morning, noon, and night,

I’m right there in your heart.

The best advise that I could give?

Live each day as if your last.

You can’t change what you say or do,

Once they’re in the past.

Your time on earth is limited,

So be careful what you do.

Remember hugs and kisses,

Goodbyes and “I Love You”.

So now it’s time to say goodbye,

From Heaven far above.

But please always remember,

You have my eternal love.

And when it’s time for you to go,

Please do not be alarmed.

For I’ll be waiting patiently,

Right here, with open arms.
