A Poem for RAI
April 14, 2010
GOD WANTED HIM TO LIVE
RestyAcostaIbañez
There he goes like those summer days gone unremembered
His feet juggled through the mountain rocks
His solid arms carried the troubles of the heart
And his memory’s now been rigged to the pictures of the past
He’s not the same boy who cries under that blue blanket
Or the guy who throw pebbles by the lake
He’s not that nerd looking geek who always carries his books
Like they were meant to be his best friends forever
Tomorrow he’s moving on to a new place
Where some old things will see some new faces
When everything seemed gone like the a morning’s mist
He had taken it in his heart for God wanted him to live
He packed up those old boxes under his old bed
In a room he had always wear clothes shaded with red
When he had no other choice but to live for what’s been there
And wait for graces to be laid down on his front door
As he stepped on those stairs that will lead him down
And leave the place that sometimes made him frown
He felt like everything’s finally meet it’s time
There’s no holding back and tears will be just for kids
That old place where he almost died each time he lost his faith
Is just one piece of a memory to be kept unremembered,
Stories drawn on his diary will be left hidden, seemed unwritten
Losing old friends will never hurt him, everything’s good to end like nothing
God wants him to take on a new ride where he’ll see life at its best
Where he’ll forget everything that hurt him, bury down all the bitterness
Forgive his self and the people that made him see life at its worst
Growing up not growing old like he should have always did.
For God will always want him to live, build his faith, forgive and forget.
