I f Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me. and I'm not there to see. I f the sun should rise and findyour eyes allfilled with tearsfo r me;
l wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today. While thinking o f the many things, we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as l love you. And each time that you think o f me. I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me. please try to understand. Thai an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready, waiting for the Kingdom from above, And that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
I thought o f all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. / thought o fall the love wg shared. and all the fun we had.
I f f could relive yesterday, justfo r a little while, Td say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then !fully realized, that this could never be. For emptiness and memories would take the place o f me. And when l thought o f worldly things. I might miss come tomorrow, I thought o fyou, and when 1did. My heart wasfilled with sorrow.
Later, when / will walk before His throne. I will feel so much at home.
When our CREATOR looks and smiles at me. f rom His great golden throne.
He will say. "'This is that Kingdom that l have promisedyou." Your life before on earth is past, hut here life starts anew. You have been sofaithful, so trusting and so true.
So when tomorrow starts without me. Don't think we'refar apart, For every time you think o f me.
% Dm right here, in your heart!

MY FATHER...,
HE WAS ALWAYS READY TO TELL A STORY OR TAKE ONE IN. HIS LOVE FOR CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY WAS OVERWHELMING. HE WOULD TAKE A CHILD AND MAKE IT HIS OWN. THE VOID THAT HAS BEEN LEFT BY MY FATHER WILL NEVER BE FILLED, AND I KNOW HE CAN NEVER BE REPLACED OR REMOVED FROM THE HEARTS OF HIS CHILDREN AND `EXTENDED' CHILDREN. DAD, WE LOVE YOU AND AS THIS FINAL CHAPTER HAS COME TO AN END, OUR LOVE FOR YOU IS AS PERENNIAL AS THE GRASS AND YOUR SWEET LOVING KINDNESS WILL LIVE FOREVER.
