Go not into the darkness
But in wondrous beads of light,
Someone will be watching
Waiting for your flight.

There's a spot reserved for you
Held by those before,
You just have to walk in
Right through Heaven's door.

If I need an Angel
I'll know who to call,
But I know you'll be there
Regardless, for it all.

Promise me that someday
You'll be watching at the gate,
And I shall promise also
That I will not be afraid,
The two of us will meet again
Where we shall be together
Basking in the light,
An eternity, forever.

Jessica Armstrong
