If 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 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 left yet 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 that we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even 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.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way,
There's no longing for the past.
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 every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart."
**Send this to all those you care about...You never know what's going to happen tomorrow... Show them how you care, before it's too late... May God watch over you and your family now and always. There is no right time to do the wrong thing... there is no wrong time to tell someone you care and love them...**

Thanks ncnative4sure for the beautiful poem. The words are so true, we just never know, do whe? My youngest and only sibling died a little over a year ago because of colon cancer. She was gone in just 4 short weeks after receiving a diagnosis. I'm so glad that I was here for her during the last 2 weeks of her life and we had that "sister" time together.

Thanks everyone for the sweet comments...And I am so glad ya enjoyed the poem..."TwoTall" Just think how wonderful life would be if everyone let somebody know how much they care about them & love them...
"redhair"...I am so sorry about your sister  You are very lucky to have been able to spend time with your sister in her last days...I to lost my sister...In '88 she was shot & killed by her husband at the age of 33 in front of her 2 boys...Then he turned the gun on himself...Both died in the Collierville Tenn. police department parking lot...Being I lived in NC...I never got the chance to be with her in her last moments...It has been almost 19 yrs...But there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her...She was my half-sister...my best friend & my heart...In honor of her memory...I had a tattoo of a angel among clouds put on my upper left arm...To remind me she is always with me...Again...My heart goes out to you...
"God-Speed My Friend"
