if tomorrow starts without you
and yourn ot there to see
if the sun should rise and find my eyes
all filled with tears for you
you wish i wouldnt cry
the way i did today
while thinking of many things to say
i know how much you loved me
as much as i love you
i know you think of me too
but when tomorrow starts without you
i try to understand
that an angel came and called your name
and took you by the hand
and said your place is ready
in Heaven far above
and that you have to leave behind
all those you dearly loved
but when i turned to walk away
a tear fell from my eye
for all my life, id never thought
you would never die
you had so much to live for
so much left for us to do
but when you walked thru heavens gate
i know you felst so much at home
when GOD looked down and smiled at you
from his great golden throne
he said ,"this is eternity
and all ive ever promised you
today is your life on earth is past
but here life starts anew
i promise there is no tomorrow
but today will always last
and since each day is the same way
you have been so faithful
so trusting and true
thought there were times
you did some things
you knew you shouldnt do
but you have been forgiven
and now at least you are free
so wont you come take my hand
so when tomorrow starts without you
dont think we are far apart
for everytime i think of you
you are right here in my heart.

for both my parents who passed away in 2002 within months of each other. i wrote this poem when i was at my worst....Lisa

They would be so proud I am sure.

Lisa, a fitting tribute to your parents.Thank you for sharing with us

very nice lisa..iknow how you feel ilost one
in 82 and the other in 98 and i miss them
to this day....

thank you all for taking time to read this poem, i cry every time i write it down. it took me a long time to get the words the way i wanted them to be, and how i felt. I know mom and dad is in a better place now but that does not stop the pain in my heart. indianfeather2007@yahoo.com

and it never will..

That was beautiful angeleyes.
It makes me want to cherish the moments I still have w/ my parents. I had my children and my parents for dinner lastnight and i told them all how much i really am thankful for them. Too many times we take for granit that we exist, and we never know when our time will be up. Thank you for that beautiful poem. May God be with you and continue to help you through this grieving process. It's not easy....

Very good poem angeleyes both of my parents are no longer here for me but mine passed away many years apart but to no longer to have either is very hard to deal with in life I always try to remember the happy times instead and that is what gets me through. God Bless you
