Review: If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me by David Romano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t usually read a lot of poetry, but one day I was online searching for something, I cannot remember what, but I totally forgot after coming across this poem. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I needed to read this poem. See, this poem hits home for me, because I lost my Mother this year (2021). I talk to her that Sunday and found her dead Monday morning. She peacefully died in her sleep. She was 91 years old, however it left me a lot to process; she was my Mom and she left me. My day started without her. Being the only child left me feeling lonely, considering I lost my father years ago.

I came across this poem when everyone was gone and I desperately was longing to hear my mother’s voice. I believe it was a message from my Mother, God and the Universe. Death is inevitable and we all have to meet it one day, but the beauty of crossing over peacefully which is reflected in this poem gave me understanding and closure that Mom was good and she is okay. However, every time I think of her or even read this poem, I sometimes and may cry, for she will forever be in my heart.

Quotes from the poem:

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.
