Elaine Wideman Obituary

When tomorrow starts without me

And I’m not here to see

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry

The way you did today

While thinking of the many things

We did not get to say

I know how much you love me

As much as I love you

Each time that you think of me

I know you will miss me too

When tomorrow starts with out me

Please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name

And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready

In heaven far above

And that I would have to leave behind

All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates

I felt so much at home

When God looked down and smiled at me

From his golden throne

He said this is eternity

And all I promised you

Today for life on earth is done

But here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow

For today will always last

And since each day’s the exact same way

There is no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me

Do not think we’re apart

For every time you think of me

Remember I’m right here in your heart
