A Tribute To Jason
Just nineteen
So much of his life yet to be seen
When you feel all alone
You’re not...just pick up the phone
When you are feeling blue
Know there are people here for you
There is a light
You just need to find the strength to fight
It may be dim now
But soon it will glow
Life is full of ups and downs
Happiness, sadness, laughter and frowns
Despite the contrary
It's all temporary
It can change in the blink of an eye
Ending your life leaves your family to wonder why
Why you did not turn to your family and friends?
Why did you choose to seek an end?
To a life that had only just begun
A song that hadn't finished being sung
There were still so many chapters of your story to write
So why, why did you end your life?
Why didn't you put up a fight?
It just doesn't seem right
To those struggling please seek help
There are still so many flowers to be smelt
Join the walking angels and support a worthy cause
No one should have to come home to an empty house or endure such a loss
A house filled with memories of a loved one
Whose battle was not won
