Rest In Peace

You have to take time to give thanks for life 
because you never know when it will be taken 
so many families have been left heart broken and moved 
so many good households have been left shaken 

it’s hard to come to reality with death of someone you love
its even worst when they hold a vital space in your heart 
you will never be able to erase the memories of that person
because they were always there with you from the start 

my heart cries out for my fallen but not forgotten friends
you will always walk along life journeys with me
i will never forget a true friend like you 
you helped to pick me up when I was down on one knee

It hurts sometimes when i realize that you are not here
hurts even more to know that i can never bring you back
and there is no one here to help mend the pieces 
you were the only one that always helped to keep me intact 

whenever i was down and felt like crying my eyes out 
you were always there to wipe my tears and lend a shoulder
when we were kids it was tough growing up 
but you promised we would make things better when we were older

Losing you out of my life is like losing life itself 
i don’t know when i will ever feel alive again 
but i know where ever you are god is with you 
and i just want to say Rest In Peace my dear friend 

Dedicated to all who have lost a family or friend..............
