If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

I think this TikToc is well done. The poem not mine. It was written by David Romano. Unfortunately the one minute TikTok time limit cuts the poem short.  The full poem is quoted below.

If tomorrow starts without me

If tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there 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 that you think of me, I know that 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 to do,

It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all we shared and all the fun we had.

 

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

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.
