Angel’s Blue Eyes

If the sun rises without me, And I’m not there to see,

May your blue eyes view his magnificent skies, and fill with tears for me.

I wish you peace and happiness as I think of you today,

While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say.

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 I knew my life had been blessed with you at my side.

I had so much to be 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 that we shared, And all the fun we had.

But when I walked through heaven’s gates, and saw a golden throne,

I heard the voices of many Angels and the Lamb proclaiming, “Your home.”

He said, “This is eternity, And all I’ve promised you.”

Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew.

He said, “I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last,

For The Sun Never Sets And There’s no longing for the past”

So when tomorrow starts without me, We Won’t Be Far apart,

My spirit will always be with you, and my love near your heart.
