Stairway to Heaven
The time has come for me to leave and continue my journey on, I’ll forever be by your side, in your hearts I will never really be gone.
I will be there every day guiding you through each part of your life, through all your pain laughter tears struggle and strife.
For death cannot steal what lives deep within your heart, death can’t take that away nor can it keep us apart.
I know your heart feels heavy and your eyes continue to cry, but to reunite with your Grampy Joe I needed to say my goodbye.
So I began my journey and Grampy was waiting right there, in eternal life a love we will forever now share.
I know you’re feeling sad and you feel this pain won’t subside, I too have sat up in heaven, a million tears I’ve cried.
This journey that I have taken, I didn’t take it alone, for I took a little piece of you all, the day Grampy called me home.
Time will heal your broken hearts as it will do the same with mine, if you look up at the sky, I’m the brightest star to ever shine.
Take comfort from knowing no pain my body shall feel, for the body I had was never going to heal.
I know you’re finding it hard because so much of your daily life was looking after me, but my life to continue on earth just wasn’t allowed to be.
I know some days when it was tough you would stand and cry, my heart may have stopped but my spirit will never die.
The memories we all have will never be taken or fade away; in our hearts they will forever remain, forever they will stay.
So, let me go but keep me close inside your heart, my journey hasn’t ended it’s just about to start.
Cry if you must but please not for too long, I’m back in Grampy's arms now, where I truly belong.
And when it’s your time and your journey on earth is done, me and Grampy will come and get you one by one.
So we can be together again in a world where time does not exist, where sadness isn’t in our hearts and nobody is ever missed.
The family chain will be complete, and you will all then see, all I ever wanted in life was to have a beautiful family.
I’m so very proud of you all for the support and love you gave, even when we knew a life like mine, we could never save.
You never gave up on me and continued with your love and care, I still remember all those beautiful memories we managed to get to share.
In a place you know as heaven but a place I now call home, you know I’m always with you you’ll never be alone.
So, allow grief to run its course and in return you shall then find, a little piece of me is still with you right inside your mind.
This feeling you feel won’t last forever, believe in the thought that we will one day all be together.
In a place in the sky where are spirits run free, the beauty of heaven oh I know one day you will see.
And if ever you feel lonely if ever you feel sad, remember you were the best family me and Grampy could have ever had.
