"HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND"

Last night while trying to sleep
My Mom's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But she did not appear

She said "now you've got to listen"
You've got to understand
God did not take me from you
He only took my hand

When I called out in pain that day
The moment that I died
He reached down and took my hand
And pulled me to his side

He pulled me up and saved me
from the misery and pain
My body hurt so badly
I could never be the same

My search is really over now
I found happiness within
The answers to my empty dreams
And all that may have been

I love you all and will miss you so
and I will always be nearby
My body is gone forever
But my spirit will never die

And so you must all go on now
and live and understand.....
God did not take me from you
He only took my hand
