Poems Carla Liked or Were Written For Her Or About Her

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,

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 I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

When I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home,

for God looked down, smiled and told me "Welcome Home".

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.

When you come to the edge
of all you know and are about
to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing one of two
things will happen;
There will be something
solid to stand on or
you will be taught to fly.

When no-one else can understand me

When everything I do is wrong

You give me hope and consolation

You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand

In everything I do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter

You touch my hand and I'm a king

Your kiss to me is worth a fortune

Your love for me is everything

I guess I'll never know the reason why

You love me as you do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

I guess I'll never know the reason why

You love me as you do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

Choose Play to listen to his song

I remember when I first saw you,

And how I thought you were so beautiful.

I remember how easily you learned,

And how I easily found work for you with others.

I remember when you came to work for me,

And how wonderful you were with everyone.

I remember my wife telling me how I must love you,

Because you took such good care of me.

I remember falling in love with you,

And telling you how much, two years later.

I remember weeks later that you told me you loved me too,

And how for many years were afraid it would show.

I remember how you captured my heart when I asked,

"If we got marred, what color dress would you wear?"

I remember your beautiful reply,

"I didn't think you would want me to wear one."

I remember our love growing for the next twenty years,

And how we became one.

I remember when you were diagnosed with cancer,

And told the doctor "People who don't smoke get lung cancer too."

I remember telling you "I love you, see you tomorrow",

And how hopeful I was as I left the hospital.

I remember when you brother called and how hard I cried,

When he said "At 7:45 this morning, our beautiful Carla died."

But I remember, and always will,

Because I love you still, and always will.
