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 yuou 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 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
For life on earth is past
But here it starts anew'...

'I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past'...

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...
Love Always Elaine xXx

Death is nothing at all - By Canon Henry Scott Oliver

I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again

Love Always Elaine xXx
