When Tomorrow Starts Without Me (Free verse) by Artemis745
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. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand. He said my place was ready In heaven far above And that I would 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 always thought I did not 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 though 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 a while I would say goodbye 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. And when I thought of worldly things That I might miss the come of tomorrow 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 is past but here starts anew." "I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last. And since each days the same day, there's no longing for the past." "But you have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things You know you shouldn't do." "But you have been forgiven, and now atlast your free. So won't you take my hand, and share your life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me Don't think we are far apart For everytime you think of me I am right here in your heart.

I love seeing people gamble all of their chips on eternity with god in heaven without a plan b...
It's just damn brave, damn brave thinking. I especially loved the stories of how heaven was made of precious metals with a lamb for every lap. Yes, Jesus is good to us. I hope he has a castle on the clouds and everyone just eats all day and never gets fat ot old and all ancestors back to Abraham and Adam are there to share JOY! Yeah, heaven, wow, I just can't fucking wait *bang* (Another teenage suicide brought to you by Ballmark, a better greeting card because it's been marked by hairy greasy nuts and robovac, like your pool cleaner another stupid thing that turns on and cleans, but never quite good enough for you to not have to go back over its work anyway.)
