Remembering Mary Elizabeth Albero

REMEMBERING MARY E. ALBERO

I know you're grieving for me, but now I'm free
I've followed the path that God had planned for me.

My work here on earth was done I suppose,
Don't question God why?
For only he knows.

My body was just a covering, given to me at birth
It was used to house my soul while I lived here on this earth.

I know my life seemed short but I have cherished sooooo!!! much.
Great times, good friends, a loved ones gentle touch.

I know my parting has left such a void
but try to fill it with all the remembered joy.

The friendships shared , a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes! these things I too will miss.

But I took my fathers hand the other day,when I heard him call,
I had to go and I left it all.

I could not stay, not one more day
To laugh to, love to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,
But oh such peace I've found at the close of the day.

Don't grieve long for me, I tell you!
I know! words so easily said.
But think of all the precious times we shared and try to smile instead.

And to my dearest family I'll miss you most of all,
But I'm your guardian angel now,
and I'll catch you if you fall.

I'll be right here beside you, I've been here from the start,
and I'll hear you when you speak to me, with words straight from your heart.

I'm with my heavenly father now, I'm not that far away.
He'll tell me if you ask about me, every time you pray.

Please ! don't grieve long for me for on this train,
We all will take this ride.
All Aboard!! Tickets Please!!
Destination to the other side.

I live in a beautiful mansion now,
Without a worry or a fret.
And if you think you've seen gold on earth,
You ain't seen nothin' yet.

It is so AMAZING!! here , such a glorious sight to behold,
You know it's even more beautiful than the things that I've been told.

I'm amongst the angels, where we live and laugh and play,
Im having such a wonderful time,just walking around heaven all day.

Well I must go for now.
Some angel friends and I, are polishing up our wings.
We're invited to a party tonight, hosted by the king.

(whisper) It's supposed to be a surprise.I'm not supposed to know.
But its a welcoming party just for me and I cant wait to go.

My long white robe is magnificent!
You should see me as I twirl around,
I even found the most comfy shoes (smile) to match my golden crown.

All the angels are excited they're expecting millions to attend,and
"Salvation" is the only pass they'll need to make it in.

So I'll just say so long for now to all of you, my family and my friends,
For some day I know that I will see you all again.

Joe,
I am sorry for your loss and share your grief. I lost my mother this year, too.
May God bless you.
