b's blog: "THE LOSS OF A FRIEND"

A few weeks ago a woman was
 killed in an auto accident.

 She was very well
 liked, so the office shut down
 for her funeral and it was on
 the
 news and so on.

 On the day the
 workers came back to work,
 they found this
 poem in their e-mail that the
 deceased woman had sent on
 Friday before she
 left for home.

 "If 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 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 left 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 that we
 shared,
 And all the fun we had.

 If I could relive yesterday,
 Just even for a while,
 I'd say good-bye 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 life starts anew.
 I promise no tomorrow,
 But today will always last,
 and since each days the same
 way,
 There's no longing for the
 past.
 You have been so faithful,
 So trusting and so true.
 Though there were times you
 did some things,
 You knew you shouldn't do.
 But you have been forgiven,
 and now at last you're free.
 So won't you come and 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
