RestInPeace.

As I drive, I wonder,

Does that man – that woman – know where I'm going?

And if they did, would they care?

Would they care that someone who’s loved dearly is gone forever?

Would they care that two son’s lost their mother –

And a husband his wife?

As I ache for memories I will never hold with her,

I wonder how many of these people are holding onto their last memories with her.

I wish to take the pain away from her family and her friends.

I long to see her holding her son again, wearing a full smile on her face.

As I look at pictures, and hear stories,

I wonder what it was like to know her,

And to laugh with her.

I look out at the busy streets,

And wonder.

Is that woman – or that man – going somewhere important?

And if they are, does anyone care?

Are they going to mourn the loss of someone they loved dearly?

Did they loose their sons, husband, wife, daughters, mother or father?

Why is it that we judge so many people, without looking at our own lives first?

I wonder how many of these people last tried hard to make someone’s day better for them.

Six words ring out in my head, every morning I wake up, and every night before I sleep.

I want to scream it out,

To everyone on the busy, rushing streets,

And to everyone in this small, crowded church.

Is this your greatest day ever?
