If Tomorrow Starts Without Me


This poem I have re-written for on here although I know it's on loads of websites but I found this today. It was given to me when my horse, Star, died a few years ago. The person who gave me the poem said 'read it as if Star was saying it' -I know horses can't talk but...the poem meant so much to me then and it still does now.

"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 a while,
I'd say good-bye 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.
And 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.

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 you have been forgiven
And 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."

I'd Gladly Lose My Life For You.



I'd gladly lose my life for you

If anything in your life is worth living for; trust one day you die for it
Something makes you smile so much; trust me one day you cry for it
And you can love someone without trusting them
Paranoid, but true to me

I'd gladly lose my life for you

If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When i'm not with you it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there was one thing that I lose
I'd gladly lose my life for you

I hope it never gets to that because,
It won't be a song that could get me back
I love the mentality, ride or die but I'd prefer if you stayed inside
The roads aren't safe for you, haters can't get me, they get to you

I'd gladly lose my life for you

If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When I'm not with you it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there was one thing that I lose
I'd gladly lose my life for you

If you are down for me, I'd be down for you
Make time for me, I'll make time for you
And don't lie to me and I won't lie to you
You can call it a bond, it's more than a song

I'm just keeping it cool
But I never make promises to you, promises come from a fool
I'll just give you my word
Because that's all that, I got, this feeling’s more than a lot
The money, the fame, my name, the game
If you disappear then everything stops, but still

You can love someone without trusting them, but you still put trust in me
I'd gladly lose my life for you

If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When I'm not with you, it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there is one thing that I'd lose
I'd gladly lose my life for you.
