My Angel

January 11th, 2025

One year since you’ve been gone
I was trying to plan a visit
Not seeing you one more time
Is something I will always regret
One and a half years
I knew that you were dying
And I said that I don’t
But you had me crying
When I found out
And the day that you died
Two of the last times
That I really cried
11/10 and 1/11
I see the ones in the days
You taught me angel numbers
And I know you’re looking my way
Keeping an eye on me
An angel in the sky
But no matter how much time spent
It was not enough before goodbye

Dear Honda

You only get one life
And you used yours to end another
Did you ever stop to think
That he was someone’s brother
He was someone’s father
He was someone’s friend
How could you expect to drive drunk
Without thinking someone’s life would end

Forever Young

April 5th, 2018

It was Justin, it was Sarah
Now we’re talking about Aaron
They were all so young
My heart is feeling barren

And two years have been a challenge
There was no way to prepare
I’m getting married without my best man
How is that any fair

And I was so proud of her
She never held back what she needed to say
She had just turned twenty
When her life was taken away

And I had just talked to him
He could always make me laugh
It’s weird to not see him everyday
When he was always part of our staff

And I’ve worked with them all
Their lives had just begun
They had so much left to do
But now they’re forever young
