If I die young....

"If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time"


Two weeks ago, I went to a funeral for one of my old co-workers. Since then...this song has been haunting me on the radio. I have been thinking since then how short life is; and I can speak for us all when I say that most people tend to take that for granted. God blesses us a life on earth for a reason...whether you live until age 5 or age 95; we cant take for granted what He gave to us. Although we do not want to see our loved ones die young, there is a reason for it. I have ultimately come to the conclusion that if I die young, I would LOVE to say "I have had just enough time". Meaning, I really hope my short life on earth was well worth it to someone. I hope that I can say that my life's accomplishments were measured by how many people I have touched, not by personal vanities. Although this is a grim message, I hope that in the end it can be seen in a positive light. Because in the end, life isnt about how many breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.

Live life to the fullest bloggers...I pray that I do! :)
