When you've known the meaning of sorrow,
And you've stalled at the foot of the stairs
You'd give all you owe just to borrow
A SMILE from someone who cares.

When your so-called friends won't come near you,
When they deal you out of their shares,
When you cry and there's no one to hear you,
Now you ask for someone who cares.

When you've tried to come back and you're hurting
The past slaps your face unawares,
You'd settle for that final curtain,
If it weren't for someone who cares.

Don't despair and grow disenchanted,
An answer will come to your prayers,
But please don't take God for granted,
He is there, and He's someone.....Who Cares.

Why God Takes Children
Author Unknown

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
The death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world,
Seem so wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
And so He takes but few,
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
Still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind
knows will always be Good-by.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm 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 you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand..
an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand
He said my place was ready..
in heaven far above,
but said I would have to leave behind..
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all my life, I'd always thought..
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for..
and so much 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 the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
I thought, just for awhile..
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized..
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories..
would take the place of me.
And when I think of worldly things,
that I would miss tomorrow..
I think of you, and when I do,
my heart is filled with sorrow.
But as I walked through heaven's gates..
I felt so much at home,
as God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great, golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity
and all I've promised you",
Today life on earth is past..
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting, and so true.
There were those times..
you did some things..
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand..
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me..
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me..
I'm right here in your heart.
