We are never prepared for what we expect. ~James A. Michener
I live in #13 and 5 of the other Twin Cities suburbs made the Top 20.
Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…
Saying goodbye to our brother…
We have all lost someone that we love today
One that we all wish
was never taken from us this way
But God thought it was his time to leave
And now this is the moment
For us his friends and family to grieve
We keep asking ourselves why
Why do the good die young?
Why don’t we ever get a warning
To when our day will come?
We were all just having birthdays and having so much fun
Tell us why you had to take him
I mean our lives have just begun
It hurts so much to think
That he is no longer here
When we keep seeing his face
Through each falling tear
Now knowing that his memory will never disappear
Although we keep pleading that this tragic ordeal
Is anything but real
We are demanding the pain we feel
Of our hearts breaking and tearing from the seams
To somehow just be one heart rendering a bad dream
Though as we awaken and realize it is not
We can remember the good times we had with Balop
And forget about the times we all fought
There for please cherish all the memories
And never forget his laugh
Because we all have a piece of him within us
And that is how the love he had
For everyone will forever last
We hope that you knew
How many people truly cared about you
And that in your passing you have taught us
That we should always stand tall
And that we have to try to make the best of it all
Hopefully through this tragedy we all will wake up & see
That life can be short and taken from us so easily
You truly will be missed by so many
We are grateful for knowing you
And lucky to have been part of your life
We know that Heaven’s gates
Have been opened up for you
The Angel’s have given you your wings
So that you can watch over us
And push us so we may strive to do better things
