Beyond The Veil – How are you doing? I am over here watching and listening to you. You don’t know it but I am proud of you. You have my name and my heart too. I want you to know I am proud of you. From the 12th house I welcomed you. At your birth I blessed you. When I left the 3rd I apologized to you. You have to live your life but I love you. I am here for you no matter what you go through. I have cried bitter tears for what you’ve gone through. Before I left I blessed you. There was nothing but evil all around you, they would scar but never break you. I passed my spirit on to you. You work so hard I don’t want you too.
I am over here watching and listening to you. You don’t know it but I am proud of you. You have my name and my heart too. I want you to know I am proud of you.
