Alive Within Your Hearts



I am sorry I cannot be there,

In your sorrow and pain;

It is hard but we both know,

we will reunite again.



Close your eyes and remember me,

I don’t want you feeling blue;

When you see me in you memory

Picture times I was with you...



I have a mansion in paradise,

With angels and friends too;

Meeting love ones from the past,

They comfort when I miss you.



Hold on to our precious memories,

don't let my void pull you down;

I am enjoying this beautiful place,

Turned my hat if for a crown.



I get to tell others about my life.

tears fill my eyes then I say;

I miss you…they roll down my face,

Christ's hand wipes them away.



In those times you want me near,

remember we are not apart;

Your love will retain me there

alive within your heart.



In memory of John Garret Quattlebaum
