If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
Id say goodbye 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.
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.
When I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home.
God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne
He said, This is eternity and all Ive promised you
Today your life on earth has passed but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last
And since each day is the same theres 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 shouldnt do.
You have been forgiven and now at last youre free.
So wont you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts with out me dont think were far apart,
For every time you think of me, Im right here in your heart.

Very nice...
As my years move into the 60s and some of my friends and family members die away more often, I’ve thought more of my own mortality.

Thanks for sharing. But it is pretty blurry.
Remembering my 25 year old nephew, lost 5/31/2013, has not been found.

That’s nice.
My mom passed on the first. I am still stunned and very sad all the time.

Most excellent post, especially for today for me. I just read a Facebook post by my 33yo son who is attending a funeral for a fellow church member. Upon putting on his rarely-worn suit coat, he found his grandmother’s funeral program in the pocket from when she passed away six years ago today. He decided to keep it in the pocket to have her memory close today.
Did I ever tell you I have a pretty cool son?

I wish I had read this at my Grandma’s funeral in December. But I honestly don’t know if I culd have gotten through it. Thanks for posting.
