Hey there, frens! Are y’all ready for some juicy content? Well, today we’re gonna dive deep into the world of sentimental poetry. I know what you’re thinking… “sentimental? that sounds boring AF.” but trust me on this one, it’s gonna be lit.
First up, we have a poem by David M Romano called “If tomorrow starts without me”.
Now, I’m not one for mushy stuff, but this poem hits different y’all. The words are so beautiful and it’ll make you feel some type of way. Check it:
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 that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand;And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I’d 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,
So much left 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 that we shared,
And all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
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 thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,He said, “This is eternity,
And all I’ve promised you.
Today your 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,
Though there were 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 come and 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.

Guys, I’m not even kidding. This one is just as good as the first one. It’s all about living life to the fullest and not taking anything for granted. Here it is:
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,

As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.But when tomorrow starts without me,
