Ka-Tee L Heath, Sr.

Just close your eyes and you will

see all the memories that you have of me

Just sit and relax and you will find

I’m really still here inside your mind

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone

For I am in the land of a song

There is no pain, there is no fear

So dry away that silent tear.

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold

For here I am resting in Paradise

I’m in a place that’s filled with love

Known to you as “Up Above”
