RE-fresh

[naples_]

video killed the writing star

a chance killed his best friend

now that shell remains beneath

the ones he left to mourn the loss

rejoice! rejoice! be glad for life

hard when always in the day

is something to always remind

of memories from days ago

and times in future to be had

dial a number - no one will answer

drive through the block - why am I here?

with old friends but someone's missing

I remember why and hold back tears

can't bring him back and its not fair

for all the ones he loved and cared

still have to know he's happier now

can't I leave this wretched earth?

and join with him in paradise?

its not my time as I can tell

I must continue this life as well

press forward through strife and sorrow

as surely he would looking towards tomorrow

towards a calling and into new life

reminded now for what life is

a gift from God

not to be taken

for granted

but grasped

with all of heart soul mind

to honor

every day on this earth

as a day with purpose

to fulfill

a destiny

given only to one

by his creator
