In my second post I talked about suicide in today's world. I am sad to say but my brother's close friend took his life this past weekend. My brother (I will call Budha) who was trying to help him and comfort him about his problems did all he could do to help his friend but it was too late. Watching Budha and all of his friend's last night come together showed that there is still love when it is lost, that there is still laughs when tears run down, and that their is still faith when there wasn't from the beginning.
I love Budha and after this I feel like we are going to become much closer. In the past it is sad to say Budha and I have no relationship. He is day and I am night. But we have come to realize that we are all we have.
If you know anyone who shows signs of depression or suicidal motions please don't sit still and watch the hole become deeper. Do something, make a change, help someone who is in pain.
We are remebering this young man with smiles, laughs, and love. It is sad to say he could still be with us today partaking in the memories, but for now we realize thats all we can do to still cont to have him in our lifes.
This poem was posted on a Remeber page on facebook. I think it is apporiate to post again.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys-
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee-
God wanted me now, he set me free.
