I'm right here in your Heart

Dear Mommy,
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.
Each time 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 for me in Heaven,
and that I had to leave behind, all those things I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had much to live for, so much yet 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 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 could never be,
for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
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 has past, But here it starts anew.
I have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
I’ve gotten my free pass, and now at last I’m free.
So won't you take my memories and
hold my life so close and near?"
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.
