"When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me, as I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things that we didn’t get to say.... I know how much you love me, as much as I love you and each me you think of me, I know you’ll miss 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 as he whispers my place was ready in heaven far above explaining that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s gate I felt so much a home, when God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne, he said this is eternity and all I promised you. Today your 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 here there’s no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re far apart. For every me you think of me I’m right here in your heart."
