Rest in Peace Chris

Self

Had I known Chris,
that you were so hurt inside,
I would have been there for you.
I am left understanding
those dark feelings,
when trying to shield the daggers
that satan throws
at our hearts & mind.

I know those daggers well...

I wish we were closer.
I wish I had kept in touch,
because I would have tried
to be there for you,
when you felt no one was.
Our lives take over,
family moves away.
We lose track of each other,
As we grow older.
I would have told you
to hang on a little longer.
Take one day at a time...
I would have said
I love you.

I know our lives & paths
went in different directions.
But my love for the family
never grew apart.
I always remember everyone,
I always think of you.
Even if I haven't seen you,
or someone else,
in over twenty years.
My memory & love for you
Is now left in tears.

Rest in Peace cousin Chris.
I want you to know,
that I understand you more
than you would ever know.
I know those daggers well,
The tears in your heart.
I wish you had known Jesus
I don't know if you had?
But I understand you
& bless your ever hurting soul.
I don't know what Jesus will say
on your judgement day...
But I sure hope
he collected your tears
& dries them up that day in front of you.
I pray he gives you angel wings
& makes that saddened heart, gray,
Light up with sunshine.
A smile so big,
with a hug to greet me
when I come home
one day.

I can't wait for you to greet me.
I hope God hears my prayers.
Love him Lord Jesus.
He had done the best
with what he knows.

I pray for a second chance!

No one is perfect
No one is immune
No one can avoid the daggers


Reach out to those around you
Spread hugs & love.
Look up & give all your cares & worries
To the glorious God above.

Suicide is an
Unobtrusive
Infinite
Cold
Isolating
Desperate
End


when no one listens....
