Heavens Treasure
A Poem From Heaven
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

         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.

           When tomorrow starts without me
                   please try to understand,
        that an angel came and called my name
                   and took me by the hand.

                 It said my place was ready
                       in Heaven far above,
             and that Id 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 even for awhile,
                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.

           When I thought of worldly things
                     I might miss tomorrow
             I thought of you, and when I did,
             my heart was filled with sorrow.

       When I walked through heaven's gates
                      I felt so much at home
     When God looked down and smiled at me
                     from His golden throne.

                  He said, "This is eternity,"
                   and all I've promised you,
                     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 day,
               there's no longing for the past.

          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.
