So close are the angels to those that grieve
So close is heaven to those who believe.
‘Tho difficult it is to see past your sorrow,
Memories will help to comfort your tomorrow.

For love leaves a path that no one can steal
And time is the element that it takes to heal.
The heartfelt tears you feel today,
Is the delight you felt from yesterday.

So look inside the chambers of your heart
To see that you are not really apart.
When sorrow comes, just look above
Tears belong to those who had love.

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8
