You asked me<\/p>\n
What I would say if didn\u2019t see<\/p>\n
you tomorrow.<\/p>\n
My day would be full of sorrow;<\/p>\n
I would feel pain inside<\/p>\n
like the receding tide<\/p>\n
ripping the sand away . . .<\/p>\n
If I didn\u2019t see you another day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I didn\u2019t see your bright eyes<\/p>\n
I\u2019d walk shrouded, disguised<\/p>\n
Hiding the hurt, hiding the shame<\/p>\n
by not calling your name<\/p>\n
Just one more time . . .<\/p>\n
Pretending everything would be fine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I would replay every day in my mind,<\/p>\n
and I would hope everything was fine.<\/p>\n
Did I show you care and understanding?<\/p>\n
Did I treat you the way He has commanded?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I didn\u2019t feel your faith each day<\/p>\n
I would ask God why he took you away;<\/p>\n
I would know He had His plan<\/p>\n
But still I wouldn\u2019t understand<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But you are an angel of today and so many tomorrows<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I see the beauty you have now<\/p>\n
The sparkling eyes, the beautiful smile<\/p>\n
Your faith, your love, your heart<\/p>\n
I see the hope for your tomorrow<\/p>\n
And in that place, there is no sorrow<\/p>\n
No pain,<\/p>\n
Only sunshine breaking through the torrential rain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You will spread peace, faith, hope, and joy;<\/p>\n
But above all else, you will spread love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
