Poem of Life
'j Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We II
claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you And each time 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 me
by name, and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven above And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
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.
