to where you are
"death is a challenge. it tells us not to waste time...it tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other."(leo f. buscaglia)
today i heard about the death of one pastor i know. time and time again, in many little ways, i am reminded that life is short.
i've heard this statement several times that we should live each day as if it were our last. for me, it means that i would do things just because i'm fun of doing them, i would share kindness to all those around me, i would take more risks, i would try to accomplish my wishes... in one word: LIVE. *well, hope i can really put them into action*
there's one josh groban's song which is dedicated to anyone who has had to deal with the death of a loved one. the lyrics were written by linda thompson (david foster's wife) and the music was composed by richard marx.
"To Where You Are"
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
*in loving memory of pastor alex paat*
