“Till We Meet Again I walked a road with flowers blooming A road filled with flowers and sunshine The golden glow of the sky pours over my velvety skin I’ve seen in the distance my family standing They look sadder, they cannot see my smile I call unto them, but they cannot hear me My voice echoes through the distance I saw the ones looking up and then side to side Yet their eyes don’t fall upon mine “Why would they cry?” I asked God “Why don’t they see me waving back?” God stood next to me and smiled He said , t “ S oon they’d feel a raindrop on heir foreheads and they’ll look up to see you smile.” I asked again, “But how can they hear me?” He said, name.” “I’ll tap on their shoulders and whisper your “Will they know it is me calling?” “Yes,” God said, “because in that whisper you w y ould say goodbye to them till one day ou’ll meet again.”
