Goodbye Matthew (way too young)

by Amy   Oct 12, 2006


Someone please hold my hand
Try to help me understand
God why did you take him
And put him in your right hand

Lord he was only so young
Bashed by a man with a violent tongue
Hes already by your side
He was only 16 hes way too young

Lord keep him safe
And Lord give him peace
Let this be the last soul you take
Let all the violence cease

Put you hand over all who cared
Give strength to those who were spared
Show them your love
Please be there when theyre scared

Lord I hardly knew Matt
But I miss him very much
From what I heard at the memorial
There was no heart he hadnt touched

Hes one of your angels now
And I know youll treat him well
Be there for his friends and family
As they say their final farewell

Lord I cant help but question
Why did you take him
Away from us
And leave our lives so grim

I know you did what had to be done
But it doesntâ??t make the pain hurt less
I just hope he doesnt hurt anymore
I hope his family isnt too distressed

Goodbye Matthew Stanely
In our hearts youll forever remain
Until the time
God shows you to us again

God keep him safe
God keep him well
Goodbye Matthew
This is our final farewell

*this is my final goodbye to a boy in yr 10 from my school. the other day he was bashed into a coma by another boy. the next morning the hospital took him off life support. he died at 16 years of age. we had a memorial at our school today where i saw his friends and family speak and it killed me to see how much it hurt them. so this is for Matt i hope you find a better life in heaven mate, we all love you dearly and cannot wait until we see you again
