To Where You Are
by Josh Grobin
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
Your still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
Everyday
Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Faith was a new angel. She had only been in Heaven for a few days.
Everything was so beautiful there, and everyone was so nice.
And even though she was the newest angel she had been given a
very important task. Faith was in charge of the rain. Every week
on Monday and Thursday, she had to be sure that the clouds
opened up and spread their raindrops all over the world.
Because every so often, every living thing on earth needed
rain. Faith asked one of the other angels if he could help her.
"Well." said the old one, "the angel that had that job before
you used to tell sad stories to the clouds, and that made them
cry." But Faith was a happy little angel and she didn't know any
sad tales. So she didn't think that would work. One night Faith
flew up to see the man in the Moon to ask him if he knew how to
make it rain. "Hmnnn," said the moon as he thought about the
question. "You might try pinching the clouds to see if that would
make them cry." But Faith didn't want to hurt the clouds and so
she decided that wasn't a good idea. What was she to do, it hadn't
rained for more than a week, and she had to think of something soon?
The next morning, as the little angel was walking around Heaven,
skipping from cloud to cloud, she heard someone giggling. It was the
little cloud she was walking on! Faith bent down and asked the fluffy
white cloud what was so funny. "It's your toes," replied the soft one,
"They tickle us when you walk!" "Oh, I'm so sorry," said Faith, "I shall
try to be more careful." "No, no, please don't," said the cloud, "We love
to be tickled. It makes us laugh so hard we almost cry!" Well, that gave
Faith an idea! She bid the cloud good-bye and went off to think. The
next day was Monday, and it was raining all over the world! And there
was a strange sight in Heaven! Little Faith was running and skipping and
wiggling her toes across all the clouds in the sky. The clouds were giggling
and laughing so hard that tears were coming to their eyes! And the tears
were falling to earth and making a wonderful rain. The grass was getting
greener, the trees were growing taller, the flowers were looking lovelier
than ever, and all the animals had water again. The little angel named Faith
had done a wonderful job and she still does it to this very day. So the next
time it rains in your part of the world, just think of Faith, way up in the
Heaven, tickling all the clouds with her toes. And if you hear some thunder
don't be frightened. Sometimes the clouds laugh so hard it sounds like a
roar, but they're really just having a lot of fun. Grandma Mary Ann's
remembering Faith Angel on your shoulder and pass it along and with a
little bit of Faith it will come back to you!
