Will There Ever Be Another Tomorrow

My world did crash
My heart went numb
That day in July
When God called you home.

We waited each day
For the doctors to smile
And tell us your ills
Were o'er for a while.

I'd laugh and I'd joke
While you'd try to smile
But that tube in your throat
Was getting your goat.

I'd say just be patient
When you would plead to remove it
"The Doctor knows best
Or he wouldn't use it."

And then complications set in
Your kidneys did quit
And try as they may
My nightmares got worse.

I'd stroke your head
Or hold onto your hand
And tell you everything
Would turn out just grand.

I promised if you'd just be patient
And do as they say
You'd leave this hospital
A well man one day.

And then that day the family all came
We laughed and we joked
And each blew you kisses
And watched as our dreams were all twisted.
 
You did relax and we felt much better
Until the machine gave off a scream.
It was then we all knew
You had gone to join Christ our King.

On my hour plus drive home
I cried, prayed and moaned
But you were there for me
And kept me on the road.

As I turned onto highway 2
Garth Brook began to sing
Life is like a River
Ever flowing toward the Sea.

I didn't realize it then
But this was just the first 
Of the messages
You would send .

You are there for me
You proved it in a very special way
All I can say is Thank You
And I miss you more each day. 

You don't love a man
For forty seven plus years
And then one day
Just pretend he was never there.

I still depend on  you
And you have not let me down
God Bless you my Darling
Until my turn comes round.
