I wrote this within a few months of the accident and it came to mind as today marks nine years since we lost Mike. I pray for everyone who loved him that we all be comforted today, that we remember the wonderful memories, and that we remember to live with purpose since no one is guaranteed tomorrow. I have seen such tremendous growth and healing in all of us over the past few years and continue to have my heart warmed that as we heal we continue to cherish our memories of him. Gone from here but never forgotten, we are all after all just passing through.
Confusion on their faces,
I wouldn’t say it’s hard to see,
Straight through this glass heart,
Shattered into tiny pieces,
Like the windows the night we lost you
On your way up to heaven,
What did you look down and see,
A world full of hate, or people filled with need
My heart is bent and broken,
Once it seemed so strong,
Shaken and twisted from that night,
Scattered amongst the wreckage,
Is the reality that this life can be short
On your way up to heaven,
What’d you look down and see,
A world full of tragedy, or life’s destiny
I hold my loved one’s a little closer today,
Loss makes us feel crazy things,
Never again will I take a single day for granted,
Never again will my life be the same
On your way up to heaven,
You’re on your way up to heaven
And I hope you look down and see
How many lives you touched
How many lives you’ve changed
And that your time here wasn’t in vain
