I wish you wouldn't cry so much,
And look so awfully blue;
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to do.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you;
And every time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand;
An angel came and called my name,
And lead me to this land.

He said my place was ready
At Rainbow Bridge, above;
But said I would have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad;
I remembered all the things we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
I thought, for just awhile;
I'd say good by and kiss your face,
And maybe see you smile

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
That emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But as I walked through this lovely gate,
I felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
>From His great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've planned for you.
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew."

He said, "You have  been so faithful,
So trusting and so true,
A better friend could not be found,
Though we looked the whole world through."

"Your life was full of joy and pain,
But now at last you're free;
So come on in, and greet your friends,
And share my life with me."

So 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.
