My teddy’s gone to heaven…
From there, he’s smilin’ at me.
“Stop your cryin’ little sis…
From all that pain I’m free!”

Lookin’ up towards heaven,
I hear the rollin’ of dice…
“Yes I’m playin’ backgammon…
And I’ve won at hearts twice!”

Remember that old sayin?
“You can’t keep a good man down”?
Living on within our hearts…
Yes indeed he’s still aroun’.

Our Night Stalker has turned angel…
Has wings and sleeps on clouds…
He gets around quite easily,
Flying above the crowds.

We’ll see him again some day
As we don our own sets of wings…
He’s waiting for us in Heaven…
We must grasp the comfort this brings.

Dedicated to my only cyber brother, Greg Jacobs
May he rest in peace…
