I ran across this on the internet, and as I read it, I felt as though Keith was talking to me because I have spent most of the evening missing him and having a pity party.
How appropriate for me today!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to share it.


When Tomorrow 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.

And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those
things 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 a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe
see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that 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, and
here it 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 there were times you did some things,
you know you shouldn't do".
"But you have been forgiven, and now at
last you're free,
So won't you take my hand now 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.

God works in mysterious ways Menia. Thanks for sharing this poem-how touching...be encouraged.

I love this!! I automatically saved it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Awesome poem.
I lost my friend/cell-mate due to medical negligence and I still can't seem to get any closure....but reading your poem puts a smile in my heart for Gena Marie Shoulders 7 year old son...who by now would be 13.
She was murdered in my books.Her desperate cries for help fell on deaf ears.
I miss you Gena and love you dearly!! I'll see you up there someday though!!

Very beautiful poem. I just buried a friend this past Saturday, and that poem brings closure to me knowing that she's with GOD.

Menia,

This is a beautiful poem. I googled it and found some beautiful sites that put pictures and music to the poem. Thank you for sharing it to those of us who need to be reminded every now and then that they are in a better place. Just what I needed today.

When I went home to San Francisco at the end of October I went to my oldest daughter's grave in Colma. I sat there for quite awhile and thought of the 9 months that Jana and I had together. Told her about my life, and her younger sisters and brother and how proud I was of them and of her.

Someday I will go home and my sweet child will be there to meet me, but I know in my heart, and my faith that somewhere in Heaven she is doing all that she could not in life.

Someday my sweet baby, Mom will be Home and we will walk hand in hand on the beachs in Heaven like I promised.

Meanwhile my sweet girl please meet and show the way to all the loved ones here who have gone Home.

See you soon,

Love Mom

Thank You Menia for sharing this poem, I know we will see our loved ones again.

Love and God Bless to you,

Patti

The first time I heard this poem was about 5 years ago when a good friend of mine took his own life b/c too much sorrow after losing his brother. I still cry when I read it. It is a very touching poem!

Thank you so much for this poem it has really eased my heart, I lost my husband yesterday..He is now free from the BOP...

I am sorry about your husband. Just try and be strong.

That's a nice poem but unfortunately no one can prove a god or gods actually exist since there are so many claims of different gods out there and many of the stories contradict each other all without any evidence of their existence and the same goes for any type of afterlife since some say heaven while others say reincarnation and some say we become part of the earth again yet not one single dead person has come back to say that any of this true.

ADX,

It is not a matter of proof, it is matter of faith.

I respect your beliefs, please respect the beliefs of others. This is not the place for this discussion.

Menia,
Thanks for that post. That poem is beautiful. As another year, comes I pray that you as well as anyone else who is dealing with the loss of a loved one finds healing and happiness this new year.
They say time makes these losses easier, for me it has only gotten harder but I do have faith and I know the Lord will carry me through the most difficult times.
Tiggermom, I've seen your posts before too. I truly hope you find healing and joy this year!!!!!!

"Time
elapses too slowly
for those who wait, too quickly
for those who fear, it is too long
for those who enjoy themselves, but
for those who love time, time is
eternal"

Menia, thank you for posting that lovely poem. It was so awesome and meaningful that as I sit here reading it, tears are rolling down my face. May HE keep his arms around you til you see Keith and other love ones.

Ritjen, I am so sorry for your loss and may you find strength and peace as you continue on your journey through life on this side.
