they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, 
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 
Are you not of more value then they?"

What you don't see

🎢I waited for you, tonight. But you didn't show.
I needed you, tonight. I cried out with no reply. 
I can't feel you by my side. 
So I hold tight to what I know. You're here.
And I'm never alone. You're part of me🎢


He never made it home that night. 
She waited up, but to no avail.

He didn't realize the height, he didn't realize the cost. 
He took his last breath. 
He was hurting inside, trying to ignore the pain. 

Her eyes caught sight of him before he left. 
Never knowing it would be the last time her eyes touched his face.

She wished she'd done something....
anything. 
Maybe things had a chance for a different outcome. 
She'll kill herself with regret. 

He hugged and thanked her. 
The pain softly released as he remembered his sweet sister.
"Oh, if she were here" he would prefer.

Life can change quicker then a blink of an eye. And it can be hauntingly terrifying.
A numb shock that engulfs the body, mind and soul. 

A loss so deep, 
SO great. 
The pain is hauntingly devastating. 
His death leaves her with a hurt that feels impossible to overcome. 

Thoughts of him haunt her. 
His face..............
His laugh............................
Memories of him flood her and overwhelm her being. 

He sees his mistake. But its too late. 
Moments lost flash before his eyes. 
Memories live on as he remembers her.

To not live with regret is easier said then done. 
The hurt can be everlastingly engraved in the mind and thoughts can run wild with emotion.

She vows to make each moment count from now on.

"Lord, take hold of my heart. 
Tell me You're here. 
Show me You love me."

She has to let go. 
She has to move on. 
She will live every moment to its fullest and be thankful for what she has.
She can serve others. 
She can give herself. 
She can love with new meaning.
She can learn from her mistakes. 
She can have new adventures.
She will work hard and grow stronger.

Without him; 
She will hurt..........cry...................and remember.
He left a legacy.
He left a hole that will heal slowly.
