    If tomorrow never comes...

    If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
    I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
    If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
    I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

    If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
    I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
    If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
    To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

    So just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
    I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
    Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
    And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

    So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
    For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
    That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
    And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

    So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
    That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
    Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
    And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

    We thought of you today!
    We Thought Of You With Love Today,
    But That Is Nothing New.
    We Thought About You Yesterday,
    And Days Before That Too.
    We Think Of You In Silence,
    We Often Speak Your Name.
    Now All We Have Is Memories,
    And Your Picture In A Frame.
    Your Memory Is Our Keepsake,
    With Which We'll Never Part.
    God Has You In His Keeping,
    We Have You In Out Hearts.

    If you could see where I am now!!

    If you could see where I have gone, the beauty of this place.

    And how it feels to know you're home to see the Savior's face.

    To wake in peace and know no fear, just joy beyond compare.

    While still on earth you miss me...yet, you wouldn't want me there.

    If you could see where I have gone, had made the trip with me,

    You'd know I didn't go alone, The Savior came with me.

    when I awoke He was by my side, and reached out his hand,

    Said, "Hurry, Child, you're going Home to a grand and glorious land!

    Don't worry over those you love, For I'm not only with you.

    And don't you know with you at Home they'll long to be Here too?"

    If you could see where I have gone and see what I've been shown,

    You'd never know another fear or ever feel alone.

    You'd marvel at the care of God, His hand on every life

    And realize He cares and bears with us each strife.

    He weeps when one is lost, His heart is filled with pain.

    But oh, The joy when one comes Home, His child at Home again.

    If you could see where I have gone and could stay awhile with me,

    And could share the things that God has made to grace Eternity,

    But no, you could never leave once Heaven's joy you've known.

    You couldn't bear to walk earth's paths once Heaven was your Home.

    If you could see where I have gone, you'd know we'll meet someday

    And though I'm parted from you now, that I'm not far away.

    So thank you family; thank you friends for living for the Lord,

    For teaching me to love Him; to trust Him and His word.

    And now that I'm at home with Him, secure in every way,

    I'm waiting here at Heaven's door, to greet you some sweet day.

    Chirstmas in Heaven -------
    Merry Christmas From Heaven

    I still hear the songs
    I still see the lights
    I still feel your love
    On cold wintery nights

    I still share your hopes
    and all of your cares
    I'll even remind you
    to please say your prayers

    I just want to tell you
    you still make me proud
    You stand head and shoulders
    above all the crowd

    Keep trying each moment
    to stay in His grace
    I came here before you
    to help set your place

    You don't have to be
    perfect all of the time
    He forgives you the slip
    If you continue the climb

    To my family and friends
    please be thankful today
    I'm still close beside you
    In a new special way

    I love you all dearly
    now don't shed a tear
    Cause I'm spending my
    Christmas with Jesus this year

    Differnt Version --- CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN!!!
    I see the countless Christmas trees.
    Around the world below,
    With tiny lights, like heaven's stars,
    Reflecting on the snow.

    The sight is so spectacular,
    Please wipe away that tear.
    For I'm spending Christmas
    With Jesus Christ this year.

    I hear the many Christmas songs,
    That people hold so dear,
    But the sounds of music can't compare,
    With the Christmas choir up here.

    For I have no words to tell you,
    The joy their voices bring.
    For it is beyond description,
    To hear an angel sing.

    I can't tell you of the splendor,
    Or the peace here in this place.
    Can you just imagine Christmas,
    With our Savior, face to face?

    I'll ask Him to light your spirit,
    As I tell Him of your love;
    So then pray for one another,
    As you lift your eyes above.

    Please let your heart be joyful,
    And let your spirit sing.
    For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven,
    And I'm walking with the King!

    I know how much you miss me;
    I see the pain inside your heart.
    But I'm not so far away,
    We really aren't apart.

    So be happy for me, dear ones,
    You know I hold you dear,
    And be glad I'm spending Christmas
    With Jesus Christ this year.

    I send you each a special gift
    From my heavenly home above.
    I send you each a memory
    Of my undying love.

    After all "love" is the gift,
    More precious than pure gold.
    It was always most important
    In the stories Jesus told.

    Please love and keep each other
    As my Father said to do,
    For I can't count the blessings
    Or the love He has for you.

    So have a Merry Christmas and
    Wipe away that tear.
    Remember I'm spending Christmas
    With Jesus Christ this year!

    Tears In Heaven
    by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings
    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?


    I must be strong
    And carry on,
    'Cause I know I don't belong
    Here in heaven.


    Would you hold my hand
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would you help me stand
    If I saw you in heaven?


    I'll find my way
    Through night and day,
    'Cause I know I just can't stay
    Here in heaven.


    Time can bring you down,
    Time can bend your knees.
    Time can break your heart,
    Have you begging please, begging please.


    Beyond the door,
    There's peace I'm sure,
    And I know there'll be no more
    Tears in heaven.


    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?


    I must be strong
    And carry on,
    'Cause I know I don't belong
    Here in heaven.

    To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
    But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
    I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
    Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

    Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
    Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
    That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
    God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.

    It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
    As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
    I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
    There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

    God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
    And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
    And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
    God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

    When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
    Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
    But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
    Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

    I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
    If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
    But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
    I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

    There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
    But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
    It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
    That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

    If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
    Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
    And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile.
    Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

    So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
    Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
    When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
    I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

    And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
    Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

    KEEP MY MEMORY


    Keep my memory with you,
    For memories never die;
    I will be there with you,
    When you look across the sky.
    I will be there in the clouds,
    In the birds that fill the air;
    In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
    You will find my memory there.

    You will feel me in the tenderness,
    Of a tiny baby's touch;
    You will hear me if you listen,
    In the twilight's gentle hush.
    When your hearts are heavy,
    And you feel that you are alone;
    Just reach down deep inside of you,
    For your heart is now my home.

    I will always be with you,
    I will never go away;
    For I will live on in your hearts,
    Forever and a day.

    ~~~ PRECIOUS CHILD ~~~

    Precious little child of mine,
    You were my sweetest dream;
    When you took your journey Home,
    I wonder what was seen.

    I knew the angels whispered,
    From the look upon your face;
    I knew that you were going,
    To a restful, peaceful place.

    And while my arms are empty,
    My heart is filled with dreams;
    Of you at peace in Heaven,
    That place eyes have not seen.

    So rest my child in God's safe arms,
    Let angels kiss your face;
    Till then, I hold you in my heart,
    Till I meet you in that place.

    . . . UPON THE OCEAN BLUE . . .

    For I have sailed upon the seas,
    On waters crystal blue;
    Salt blown breezes kissed my face,
    Sailing hand in hand with you.

    Skimming 'cross the water,
    No destination clear;
    Content to rest there by your side,
    Finding comfort in you near.

    Yet as we sailed into the mist,
    Into the setting sun;
    I heard a summon from afar,
    A song that called me home.

    I turned my face into the wind,
    And listened to the song;
    A tune that called out in the mist,
    Beckoning me to come.

    So when your heart still yearns for me,
    Just know I'm here with you;
    My spirit soars here where we sailed,
    'Cross waters crystal blue.

    SAFE IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGELS . .

    Safe in the arms of the angels,
    Our little one slumbers today;
    Not destined for life on this earth,
    But a home so far away.

    Just as far away as Heaven,
    Just as close as the beat of our hearts,
    No matter that we cannot be with you,
    We will love you wherever you are.

    A dream that blessed us with beauty,
    Is the hope that still shines our way;
    That you rest in the arms of the angels,
    ‘Till we meet again one sweet day.
