A Life Led

A world was shared, a life was lost
In our despair, we feel it was short
We’re hurt we’re scared, we’re helpless and distraught
Because he loved and cared, he led and he taught
And many times he dared, to help in battles we fought

It’s hard to believe that he’s really gone
That our world is broken, that our hearts are torn
We know that this day comes, even when a child is born
But for one you love so much, it’s hard to fathom
How do you let go of a man, who your heart he won

You don’t

You live in the lessons, he lived to tell
You remember him fully, you remember him well
You remember him till your heart begins to swell
When you hear his song, let it ring a bell
Remember him with the four-letter word that starts with L

For a life was not lost but it was lived
And though our world is broken, the lord shall heal
Our lives are better, greater, because a of man we knew
A man so good and such men are very few
And in our heart is where we will keep you
Our loving Matthew
