Personal Spiritual Development   In tribute and loving memory to Grandma Echo.... May your soul fly above the clouds but may your spirit stay close to our hearts... We love you Grandma!!! (Echo Lahoma Jeppson Pettit,  June 10, 2003) Written by Melanie Adams Harding   I didn't want to close my eyes  I didn't want to sleep  So, as I stumbled thru the misty morning  I prayed the Lord my soul to keep.  I tried to explain, I needed one more goodbye  One last refrain. I didn't want to take their hands When the angels came to call But there were old familiar faces Seen in pictures on the wall And suddenly the pain  Just like the fear and the doubt All fell away. And I am watching over you I can't be there to hold your hand But I can hold your wounded heart And I can listen to your sorrows So let the healing start Cause, I am watching over you You can be sure......that I am watching over you. I didn't want to close my eyes  But the dream was far too strong And like the light it pulled me up And it carried me along I knew I could fly  Cause all I'd planted in your heart Would stand up to time. And I am watching over you I can't be there to hold your hand But I can hold your wounded heart And I can listen to your sorrows  So let the healing start Cause, I am watching over you You can be sure....that I am watching over you. I didn't want to leave the dream  I didn't want to wake  So as I looked into His loving eyes,  I prayed the Lord my soul to take. Copyright: Melanie Harding 2003
