      A Name

 

 

As you release this butterfly in honor of me,
know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me ....

~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~  ~*~

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 things,
We didn't get to say.

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 try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
 
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It almost seemed impossible
That I was leaving you.
 
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
 
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
 
But when I walked 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 your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
 
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
 
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
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 here, in your heart.

⋱♰⋰ The Days That Follow ⋱♰⋰

 How can the birds sing and the sun still shine?
Do they not know the huge loss of mine?

 The winds are all calm with a gentle breeze
My heart is aching with no sign of ease.

 The day is new and the sky is all clear.
Memories of my loved one are still very near.

 Today’s forecast, there is no chance of rain
Someone please tell that to my soul in pain.

On days such as this we would laugh and snuggle.
A beautiful day without you seems like a struggle.

 Time keeps coming through the day and the night.
Hours upon hours, I miss you with all of my might.

 The flowers are in bloom and the grass fresh with dew
How can this be enjoyed with me missing you?

Tomorrow is another day with promise and light
To get through the present is my biggest fight.

 I am promised to meet you again so they say.
Until that time, Lord help me through this day.

"This candle is lit so that his memory will continue to light up the lives that knew him and miss him."

May Your Candle Always Burn!

Darko We Love You!
