Lorin Pitcher

If tomorrow starts, without me, and I am 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.
