Do You Know They Have Baseball In Heaven?

I know it was a sudden exit and I didn’t mean to leave
But the Angels needed a pitcher and I was drafted home.
Jesus took me by the hand and I knew I had to believe.
I was going to ask if you could go, but there wasn’t any time.
Jesus said you may not understand.
I am in heaven and things here are so nice,
I am happy here, please don’t be mad, don’t feel sad.
Jesus hold me near.
I love you all and I know for you things will never be the same
But I am always with you, watching your every move.
They just needed me up in heaven.
And I am doing a real good job.
One day you will all get to watch me pitch my perfect game.
Do you know they have baseball in heaven?
Oh yeah, I said that once before.
I pitched for the “Angels” on my first day.
Moses was a bit annoyed when I got caught “stealing”.
He said they don’t do that here.
I hit a homer just a while ago.
Abraham and Gabriel came in for a score!
A camera man came close to get my picture
Just like they do for the pros on TV.
I had the biggest smile you’ve ever seen!
I put my face close to the lens,
It was huge and filled the screen.
Do you know what I said?
Of course you do…
I looked in it and said… “ Hi Mom!”
So I guess what I’m trying to say
Is that things really aren’t that bad
I miss you all and my family a lot
I miss the guy stuff I did with dad,
I miss scaring the snot out of mom
And I sure miss lying in bed with Amanda and Caleb.
I do have some good news though
At night when you fall asleep,
God said I can talk to you in your dreams
So those times I show up and we laugh and play, they are as real as
They actually seem. Promise you’ll talk back to me,
I can hear you when you pray
I Love You All
