Should Your Tomorrow Start Without Me

Should your tomorrow start without me:

 

Forget not all the good I was to you.

I was laden with a box full of trouble,

Yet I did my best always to be good to you.

It mayn’t have been meant for you to crumble,

But should your tomorrow start without me

Only remember I only tried to be the best I could be.

 

When you count my flaws and misgiving,

And all the pain you borne in my name,

And all the good I did not, but yet was preaching,

And all the others I bare to my eternal shame,

 

Only tell these young ones of the few times I did you good too.

So they’ll know there are always two sides to every moon.

And if there ever were a time I did make you happy too

Please let them know – for I will be passing soon.

 

And while I own no right over words once spilled,

I’d beg of your heart to protect the words I shared.

For life happens in contexts and chapters – and most are brailed;

And you know by the gods of the Universe – that I once truly cared for you.

 

Walter Bishop: "I've asked God for a sign of forgiveness; a specific one - a White Tulip"
 

 

So should your tomorrow start without me;

“Only remember that I, like many others of us mankind, hath it not all ironed out;

But was just also patches and broken pieces finding a place in life’s grand puzzle.

I may not have hath the ways good figured out today –

but I may have hath them in another life or by the time.”

 

May we try to give people chances – for we are all fading away and fast.

There are the hearts of men for all to see – the good and others evil –

and they all hurt regardless.

But to the ones that give everything to be right, to fix their wrongs –

maybe they are the true ones.

Maybe they just deserved another chance at life.
