R.I.P Mom

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 you think of me, i know you'll miss me to;

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 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 relive yesterday, just for even awhile,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

but when 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,
his great golden throne,
"this is eternity, and all I've promised"
today for life on earth is past, but here it 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,
but you have been so faithful,so trusting and so true.
though there were times you did something,
you knew you shouldn't do.
but you have been forgiven,
and now at last your free.
so won't you 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.
