A Poem

10 2 6
                                    

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you'll think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

And said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for.
So much yet left to do.
It seemed almost impossible
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could re-live yesterday,
Just only for a while.
I'd say good-bye and kiss you,
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized
That this could never be.
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did.
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From his great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past.
But here life starts anew.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me."

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For everytime you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.
