Death Is Nothing At All I have slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other,that we still are Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used to Put no difference in your tone,wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect,without the trace of a shadow on it Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is an unbroken continuity 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. A Message From Heaven I am not so far away from you Just a little way beyond Past the cares and past the pain Far past my earthly bonds When you feel you miss me most As years go drifting by Each memory will prove to you That our love will never die For memories are but a touch From God's gentle hand To heal your pain and mend your hearts To help you understand That while I left you far too soon I did not leave alone For God sent his angels To take me gently home Take comfort when you think of me Keep my love alive in your heart And with the warmth of each memory We will never be apart by Allison Chambers Coxsey WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME When tomorrow starts without me and I am 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 will 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 those that I dearly love But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye for all life, Id always thought I didn't want to die I had so 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 awhile I'd 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 And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow I thought of you, and when I did my heart was full of sorrow But when I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home When God looked down on me and smiled from his golden throne He said This is eternity all I have promised you today life on earth is past but here it starts anew I promise no tomorrow but today will always last and since each days the same day there is no longing for the past But you have been so faithful so trusting and true Though there were times you did some things you knew you should not do But you have been forgiven and now at last your free So won't you take my hand and share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we are far apart for every time you think of me IM RIGHT HERE IN YOUR HEART.
