No More Tomorrows
By Paul Wilson


I’m afraid to close my eyes and sleep
Because when I wake up I’ll remember you’re no longer here
I’m afraid to stay awake
Because my mind won’t stop thinking of you
You were here just yesterday
And today my dear daughter you are gone
My heart weeps from the loss of you
We shared the last ten minutes of your life holding hands

With your passing everything has changed for me
No more daily talks on the phone, no more memories made together
Future plans and dreams no longer matter
An empty heart replaces one that was filled with your love
I wonder if you can see the stars from Heaven ?
Does it rain in Heaven and bring happiness to you ?
Have you embraced friends and loved ones that are in Heaven?
I’m sure they are all happy to see you

I count the days since you’ve gone hoping you could come back
Each night I thank God for the time we had together
I pray that one day I will see you again and happiness will fill my heart
There are no more tomorrows, yesterdays or todays for you just eternity
No more pain and worries about the future and other earthly things
I know you are much better off now than when you were alive
Your life on earth was hard and you struggled every day to do your best
My heart is healing a little every day and I talk to you all the time

These words don’t compare to the love I have for you
But I’m sure you know how I feel about you
Till our stars collide again and the world explodes
Into a beautiful rainbow of colors
These words and my love for you will have to do
I see your smiling face each day
And remember all that we shared
Sweet daughter of mine I will never forget you

Beautifully written, Paul.  She can see the stars I'm sure.
