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.
