Hello, these next three poems were NOT written by Nichole. They were given to me by different people during the first few days after her funeral.

I do not know the authors names, but I know I did find some solace in them. I would like to share them with you in hopes that maybe these words can help someone else suffering a loss of a loved one. Here is the first one.

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

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 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 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 awhile

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile

But then I full reaslized

That this could never be

For emptiness and memories

Would take the place of me

And when I thought of wordly things

I might miss come tomorrow

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 is past

But here life starts anew

I promise no tomorrow

But today will always last

And since each day's the same way

There's 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 shouldn't do

But now at last you're free

So won't you come and take my hand

And share my life 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 here in your HEART.

Only had to use two tissues typing this for you, that's pretty darn good for me. I love to think of her happy in heaven with no worries, sadness or pain.
