Yesterdays, Gone

Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free


Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
So long my friend, so long


A couple days ago I found out someone I knew died. Granted, it has been about three years since I have seen him, but it still stung. It's interesting, I just so happened to be thinking about heaven the day before and how wonderful it must be. Now I can be glad that one of my old friends can be happy there because I know he is! I feel sad for the people on earth, whose lives God touched through him. He was a real good guy. We should be happy, for he is finally FREE! Free to be with the Lord, to bask in his glory and spend time with his true love, Jesus Christ. What more could anyone want?
The night I heard about his death it really got me to thinking about how in some ways he was so much more like Jesus than I ever was, and because I still have life left to live on this earth, I should work harder and challenge myself more to be like Jesus. 
One thing that Thomas and I have been talking about a lot lately is loving people that don't fit our criteria of people to love. Essentially that is what all people do, they have boundaries and if you cross them, then you don't deserve their love anymore. I do that. I am ashamed of it, there is no way to justify that, or to make it right. 
But you know what? The best thing is to not sit there and worry about how you used to act, but to really challenge yourself in ways to act better! Want to know why?


This could be your big chance to makeup
Today till soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on,
Your going going gone,
Like sumemr break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like your immortal your immortal




Let me tell you, when I am "gone" I will be glad!
