When Tommorow Starts Without Me

[dpodesta]

I came acroos this today going through some files. It was posted here back in August of 2006. I felt that this was such a long time ago and so many have joined since then and possibily don't look through older posts that I would post it again. It made me simile to think that KAren is in Heaven where there is no sadness, sickness or worries.

WHEN TOMARROW STARTS WITHOUT ME..

When tomarrow starts without me, and Im not there to see

if the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me

I wish so much you would not cry the way you did today,

while thinking of the many things we didnt 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 too.

But when tomarrow starts without me please try to understand,

that an angel came and called to me and gently took my hand,

and said my place was ready in heaven far above,

and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

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 and so much left 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, I thought, just for a little while,

I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile,

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 that I'd miss come tomarrow.

I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heavens 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, for life on earth has past, here it starts anew.

I promise no tomarrows, but today will always last,

and since each days the same day, there's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, so trusting, so true,

though there have been times you did some things you knew you shouldnt do

But you have been forgiven and now at last your free

Won't you come and take my hand and share this life with me?

So when tomarrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,

for everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

Love always

Derek

Derek, beautiful poetry, I need to ask, are they really ok? I havent had a ADC in several months now, do they forget about us?

[dpodesta]

My belief is that one, they are okay they have been restored to a perfect body. Second I don't believe that they forget about us, I believe that they feel love for us and even watch over us. I have been told that watching over us they only see the happy times in our lives, not the bad. It has been awhile since I have heard from you William, glad to see you still around

Love always

Derek

Hi Derek, yes its been a long time, my life has been chaotic the past few months with grieving, moving to a house and fixing alot of things, I am glad to be back also, thanks for that affirmation, so many times I feel lost in this world and wonder if 9 years of my life was wasted, wierd thinking huh?

Beautiful, Derek - just beautiful. Thank you.

Your friend, Karen

That was beautiful Derek, just beautiful ! You know though if our loved ones only see us when we are happy then I am thinking that Steve has not seen me this past year, nothing to make me happy for yet, it has been a horrible year.

Same sentiment here Wendy...this past year was hell, I hope this year becomes some sign of progress

Hi Derek, it's beautiful, made me smile today. The thought that he is in God's loving arms gives me some kind of peace. I know he is always watching over me.
