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 care for me, and how much I care for 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 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 and walked away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and 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, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and hug 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'd 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 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, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
And you have been forgiven and now at last your free.
So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So if tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I'm in your heart.

God Bless you JR....We will meet you one day at Heaven's Gate
This rose is for JR's mom
Debbie,
I have always seen my life as a journey on a road to tomorrow.
There have always been hills and valleys and turns here and there that have
filled my life with all kinds of challenges and changes.
But I have made it through those times, because there were always
special friends I met along the way.
My special friends are the ones who walked beside me, comforting
my spirit or holding my hand when I needed it the most.
They were friends who loved my smiles and were not afraid of my tears.
They were true friends who really cared about me, Those friends are forever;
they are cherished and loved more than they will ever know.
You are one of
My Special Friends, and
a Beautiful Part of My Life
If we had all the riches that we could ever spend,
It could never buy the treasures, the heart finds in a friend.
May the Angel's be at your side always.
