Please Ask
Someone asked me about
you today
It's been so long since
anyone has done that.
It felt so good to talk
about you,
To share my memories of you,
To simply say your
name outloud.
She asked me if I minded
talking about
What happened to you..
Or would it be too
painful to speak of it.
I told her i think of
it every day
And speaking about it helps
me to release
The tormented thoughts
whirling around in my
head.
She said she never
realized the pain
would last this long...
She apologized for not
asking sooner.
I told her
"Thanks for asking."
I don't know if it was
curiosity
Or concern that made her
ask,
But told her, "Please
do it again sometime..
Soon."

When Tommorrow Starts Without Me
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.
She said my place was
ready
In heaven far above;
And that I'd 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'd
always thought
I didn't 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 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
Just even for awhile,
I'd 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
I might miss come tomorrow;
I thought of you, and
when I did,
My heart was filled with
sorrow.
But when I walked through
heaven's 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 your life on earth
is past,
But here it all starts
anew."
"I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always
last;
And since each day's
the same day,
There's no longing for
the past."
"But you have been so
faithful,
So trusting and so true;
Though at times you did
do things,
You knew you shouldn't
do."
"But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're
free;
So won't you take my
hand
And share my life with
me?"
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.
