A poem written for a dear friend of mine from my previous school. RIP Matt Zeller.
Onward to Heaven (Ode to Matt Zeller)


Until it’s gone forever

You never know what you had

I’ll always remember

Every time you made me glad

I’d give anything

Just for one last ride home

I cant believe it, this thing

As we lay you with your tombstone

It’s such a shame

You left us too soon

Life to us was a game

And we lost a player to the monsoon

An evil rain that raged

Made your car swerve

Now inside we all pray

Your soul gets what it deserves

Onward to Heaven we send you

Friends and Family gathered

You know we’ll always miss you

You are all that matters

To all of us you were an angel

Now God wants you back

Its better to have known an angel

And miss what we now lack

Than been deprived

Of the angelic presence you had

In this mad world you contrived

A way to keep us hand-in-hand

Onward to Heaven now

Back to where you belong

Knowing we miss you now

Inwardly singing the same sad song
