Remember Me

Heaven’s children were all outside to play
But one little girl was very quiet today
Jesus opened His arms and smiled
He said, come sit and talk to Me awhile
She looked at Him with the biggest eyes of blue
She said, I really love being here with You
I can run and play and sing and dance and laugh
But sometimes I wonder where my family’s at

And do they remember me?
It’s been a long time now, you see
It was five years ago today
That I came to heaven to stay
Do they know that I still love them
And I’ve prayed for their hearts to mend
It’s been an eternity . . .
Do you think they remember me?

Jesus smiled as He took her little hand
He said come with Me - you will understand
They sat side by side together on a cloud
He whispered, watch and see and you will be proud
She bowed her curly blonde head and looked down
She saw her family in the rain, all gathered ‘round
There were pink and purple flowers at the graveside
Her mother looked up to the sky as she cried

Do you remember me?
It’s been a long time now, you see
It was five years ago today
That you went to heaven to stay
Do you know that I still love you so?
And I never wanted you to go
It’s been an eternity . . .
Do you remember me?

The little girl looked at Jesus and smiled
We’ll all be together in a little while
Until then, can we please go back and play
And could we send a little sunshine their way?
With a wave of His hand, the rain was gone
And a beautiful sun brightly shone
Her family looked up to the sky with awe
There were two rainbows . . . one big and one small

I know you remember me
There is no time in heaven, you see
Though it was five years ago today
That you went to heaven to stay
You know that we all love you
And we know that you love us, too
Heaven is eternity . . .
And I know you remember me
