IN
LOVING MEMORY OF…
CASH
“WHEN
TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME”
When
tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see. The sun will 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 remembering how I'd lay my head in your lap that
special way. I know how much you love me. As much as I love you. 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 petted me with her hand. She 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 heel away, a tear fell from my eye. For all my life I never
thought that I would have to die.
I
had so much to live for, so many sits and downs to do. It seemed almost
impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought about our lives together, I know
you must be sad. I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand, and poke you with my nose? The frisbee I
would gladly chase, the bad guy, I'd ‘bark and hold’.
If
I could re-live yesterday, just even for
awhile, I'd wag my tail and kiss you, just so I could see you smile. But, then
I fully realized, that this could never be. For emptiness and memories will
take the place of me. And when I thought of treats and toys, I might miss come
tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, my dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But
then I walked through Heaven's gate, and felt so much at home. As God looked
down and smiled at me, from His beautiful golden throne. He said, "This is
eternity and now we welcome you. Today your life on earth is past, but here it
starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last. For you see,
each day is the same day here. There's no longing for the past. Now you have
been so faithful, trusting, loyal and true. Though there were times you did
things you knew you shouldn't do. But good dogs are forgiven, now at last
you're free. So won't you sit here by my side, and wait right here 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.
