Celebrate the Moments
Celebrate the Moments
Celebrate Life!
Add alcohol, a bike, a truck and a gun
Then Celebrate Death!
Give it a party…
Cry your tears,
Mourn the deaths and go home
Then wait…
Wait for the moment you pick up the phone to tell him about that funny thing his sister said
The moment before you remember
Wait for the moment you try to buy that Christmas present, the one you’re sure she’ll love.
The moment before you remember
Wait for the moment you cry…
…for the wife he never married
The wedding she never had
The children never born
Wait for the moments you never celebrate
Her award for being the best
His retirement party for a job well done
Their kids’ graduation celebrations
Go home, and wait…
Wait for the moment you meet again
The moment before you pray they’ll say
“I remember”
