A Letter from Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me,

and I’m not here to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes,

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 you think of me,

I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me,

don’t think we’re far apart,

for every time you think of me,

I’m right there in your heart.

I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldnot make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God

broke my heart to prove to me that he only takes the best.
