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.
