Don't Cry
by Cathlyn CartierIt was an accident.
I don't know what happened,
but somehow I felt like I was sleeping.
I heard voices calling,
My spirit felt your prayers.
You wanted me to come back.
I tried, but it was too far,
I got lost and couldn't find the way.
I know you're sad and crying,
I miss you too...
but Jesus said it was time
for me to be with Him again.
We're here together, Jesus and me,
and so many others too...
They're helping me watch over you every single day.
I asked Jesus why so many are sad.
He said you weren't ready to let me go,
but He said He hears your prayers
and will take away your sorrow.
I love you all...
everything will be all right.
God had my room waiting
and when I miss you Jesus hugs me tight.
I had to leave you...
I didn't say good-bye,
because I know I'll be with you again,
in only a brief time. 05/21/2004 Author's Note: Andrew Ryan Davis 3/16/2001-5/20/2004
