Matt’s Blog

a place for sharing stories and memories about Matt

 

Matt lives on

 

There aren’t enough words in the world to express

the pain and the sadness I feel

I know that it happened; I know that it’s true,

but I just can’t believe that it’s real

 

Matthew is gone, crooked smile, bright blue eyes

and much of my heart went with him,

I need for us all to remember the good times,

not just the dark at the end

 

Because Matt he was sunshine, and laughter and wit,

He was smart, he was funny – everyday

We can’t linger here with the tears and the sadness,

Matt wouldn’t want it that way

 

He liked being happy, he loved to bring joy

It was a gift that he had and he used,

If there’s only one way to remember him by

Let that be the one that we choose

 

So I ask of you all, share a laugh, crack a smile

Know that’s what my Matthew would do

Because every time we make someone feel better,

Matt lives on in me and in you
