If I should die tomorrow,
I’ll tell you what I’d do…
I’d go straight to God, and thank Him,
Because He sent me you!
I’d sit Him down upon a cloud…
And I’d sit at His knee,
And fill the skies with poetry
That pretain to you and me…
I’d share with Him, the love we’ve known
The joys that we have seen…
About the times on the beach,
and all the times between…
I’d tell Him how your lashes look,
When snowflakes there, alight.
And all the talks that we had,
Till the wee hours of the night.
I speak about the giggles
And all tears that we have shared,
And of each and every tender touch,
The deep and longing stares.
If I should die tomorrow,
I’d want my Lord to see,
How He made my life come alive,
When He sent you, to me!
For I’d have all eternity,
To bare my deepest feelings
And all the angels would gather round
Sharing.. their heads reeling.
And then,
He’d cup my chin in His hand
Looking deeply in my eyes…
He would smile,
His gentle smile
He’d say, ‘My child, you must realize,
I’ve known all this for awhile…
You trusted me, He went on,
You prayed to me each night.
And I always heard you…
But the time was never right.
So when I felt you both were ready,
I smiled down from above,
And let those two doors open…
Let you both look into the eyes
Of love…
I knew you both were searching..
But the time was never right,
It had to be that moment,
On that cold and windy night..
I even sent you snowflakes,
Like diamonds from above,
It was a gift, from me to you
To celebrate your love…
That’s why they tugged at your so,
When they fell upon his lash,
You felt your icy heart thaw,
From a cold and painful past…”
He stroked my head,
and I was silent,
as He had more to say
“This is but a dream my child, you did not die today.
But take with you into your waking world,
This gift you have been shown,
These precious moments you have shared with me,
This time that we have known.
Enjoy this gift I’ve given you both,
I say this from my soul…
Hold on to each other tightly,
And watch your love unfold…”
He gave me then a gentle kiss, and sent me on my way,
It was not my time he said,
He couldn’t let me stay…
So I awoke,
But I still felt Him near,
I felt Him in my heart…
I tried to thank Him,
But I couldn’t begin to start…
For , you see my love…
No matter what,
Our life together brings
I’ll always know deep in my soul…
You are my everything!
So, I won’t die tomorrow,
But… today, here’s what I’ll do..
I’ll get down on my knees,
With prayers of thanks,
Because…God sent me you!
