Mothers Never Really Die- They Just Keep House Up in the Sky Death beckoned her with outstretched hand

And whispered softly of "an unknown land"---

But she was not afraid to go

For though the path she did not know,

She took death's hand without fear,

For He who safely brought her here

Had told her He would lead the way

Into eternity's bright way...

And so she did not go alone

Into the "Valley that's unknown"---

She gently took death by the hand

And journeyed to "the promised Land"...

And there, with steps so light and gay,

she polishes the sun by day

and lights the stars that shine at night

And keeps the moonbeams silvery bright...

For Mothers really never die,

They just :keep house up in the sky"...

And in the heavenly home above

They wait to "welcome" those they love.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes, 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 you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready in heaven far above

And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gate, 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 my 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 day, there’s no longing for the past.

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,

For every time, you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
