~WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME~
~Author Unknown~

  When tomorrow starts without me, 
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes 
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 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.

(DEREK LEE ~ 2YEARS 10 MONTHS)

I had so much to live for
and so much 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 the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
I thought just for awhile,
I'd say good bye 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
that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, 
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gate, 
I felt so much at home.

(DEREK SHOCKEY)

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 for life on what 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, 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 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.

~REMEMBERING~

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that dies, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry,
I am already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing the tears that I try to hide.
I am hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he did not exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that he has been missed.
You ask me how I was doing,
I say "pretty good, or "fine."
But healing is something ongoing.
I feel it will take a lifetime.

The days go along
But time stands still
I can’t erase my thoughts
Or the feelings that I feel
I try not to be sad
I try not to worry
I know God is watching over you
Surrounding you with his glory
My mind keeps replaying 
The horrible events of that day
Those scary images of you
On my mind is where they lay
They bring me nightmares
They bring me sorrow
All I have is hope
That they’ll be gone before I wake tomorrow

DEREK SHOCKEY, DEREK LEE, FRIEND HOLLY & KENDRA

I know I can’t take it back
I can’t change the way things are
But we can still love you
And pray for you from afar
What happened that day
Was nothing more than fate
Sending us a message
Telling us to love, not hate
God hoped this would teach us a lesson
To turn towards our faith
When you have a problem
Just go somewhere and pray
It happened for a reason
Even though we didn’t want it this way
I’ll never forget The TRAGIC events
Of that one Sunday afternoon

~ANGELS AMONG US~
~Alabama~

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way. 
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone. 
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home. 
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there. 
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers. 

Oh I believe there are angels among us. 
Sent down to us from somewhere up above. 
They come to you and me in our darkest hours. 
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give. 
To guide us with a light of love.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
There's always been someone there to come and comfort me. 
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand. 
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road. 
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope. 

Oh I believe there are angles among us. 
Sent down to us from somewhere up above. 
They come to you and me in our darkest hours. 
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give. 
To guide us with a light of love. 

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places. 
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need. 
Oh I believe there are angels among us. 
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours. 
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give. 

To guide us with a light of love.
