A Message from Del
By: Stephen Newsome
Last night I was trying to sleep
But Del's voice is all I'd hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said: "Stephen you've got to listen,
Please make them understand.
God didn't take me from you,
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant 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 was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
To all my friends and family,
I hope you understand.
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Try to find your own destiny somehow,
I'm at peace since I've found mine."
