When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

by Mary Schneidt

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 times We didn't get to play. 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 don't be in awe That an angel came and called my name And took me by the paw, And said my place was ready In heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love But when I pranced 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 for life on earth is past But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And since each day's the same way, There's no longing for the past. 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.
