His Letter from Heaven

To my Dearest Family & Friends,

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path that God has laid you see.

I took His hand when I heard Him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been fulled, I savored much

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee

God wanted me now; He set me free.

And for those who have not met Jesus yet

I found him more wonderful than you can guess.

I look forward to welcoming you in heaven

Following my life's creed, The journey's the destination.

Yours sincerely

Leong Yat Choon

Tribute to a generous man who has gone to a better place
