When 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 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 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 for life on earth is past,
But here it 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.
But 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 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.
Devin, Devin, Devin,
Not a day go by that I don't cry for you. All the time. Too many times in a day to count. I miss you so much right now. I ask GOD to give me the strength to just to get out of bed and began each day. I hated the fact that I got to come home and continue on with my life and you didn't. That hurts so much.Your life Dev was cut too quickly in such a short period of time. You had so much to look forward to. I tell myself that you're away in college hoping that will ease the pain. Even if it's for a short while. Dev, you had such a beautiful smile, and the way you squinch your eyes when you laughed made me laugh even when you were little. Devin, I give you my promise that I will never let them forget you. You memories and legacy will live on. You have accomplished SO much, and I am proud of you. When I told you on May 5th that I was proud of you, Devin I meant it. Through ALL that you went through and endured growing up, you STILL triumphed. You never gave up. You stuck it out to the very end, and I so commend you for it. I thank GOD more for giving you to us. Dev, you are our blessing. All I ask of you, is that you stay with me in spirit. Be my guardian angel. You made an lasting impression down here and I know you will make one up there. Give all the love ones we've lost already my love. Well Sweetie I must end now, but I know that you are in my heart, in my
thoughts, and on my mind every second of the day. Thank you for being there for me. I can truly say that I was HONORED to be your big sister. You rest and relax now, and keep a close watch on Mommy and June ok. Let them know you're alright. Mommy, I love you. To all my siblings (including you to Chris Marshall), cousins, and friends I love you all. I ask GOD to Please continue to shower us ALL with HIS love cause we need HIM now more than ever. May the blessing continue to fall on everyone. Devin, I miss you. I love you. I will never forget you. You ARE apart of me. Always and Forever.
