Sometimes saying goodbye is not easy.

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

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 it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last,
And since each day’s the same always,
There’s no longing for the past”.

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
Just know that when you think of me
You’re still here in my heart.

    I lost an Uncle and my best friend both on the same weekend. March 22 and March 23 of 2008. I had a terrible time and cried incesstantly the first few weeks. My mother found this poem and read it to me, trying to get me to see that they are still here in my heart and I don’t have to actually say a final good bye as long as I remember them. It seems to help me accept what has happened and deal with it a little better than I was.
