NO MORE TIME
When death comes knocking on your door
Will you be ready to say your goodbye
Or will you beg for just a little more
As you were never ready to die.
If only life could work that way
We’d all just ask for a little more time
Because we’re never ready to go away
When we’re still learning how to climb.
But, life never gives us these chances,
It just creeps in when you least expect
And it don’t care about circumstances
That you were so eager to perfect.
It just comes without any invitation
And tells you it’s your time to go,
Never caring about your obligation
You made to the friends you know.
It’s kinda sad how our life just ends
In the blink of our naked eyes
Leaving us torn from family and friends
That wish they too, had goodbyes.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
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 re-live 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.

“The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are
never said, and never explained. It’s the sudden silence, the unspoken words,
the unanswered questions that haunt you at night. You lie awake, your mind
replaying every moment, every word, every touch, searching for the reason why.
But there is no answer, just an emptiness that stretches into eternity. It’s
the pain of not knowing, of not understanding, of being left in the dark with
only your own thoughts to keep you company. And in that darkness, you slowly
come to realize that you may never know why, and that is perhaps the hardest
truth of all.”
Suggestions for those in the land of the living.
