Until We Meet Again (Dedicated to Ruchardo Shado Maasdorp)

My friend it’s been a while since heaven called your name and you answered without thinking twice;

I guess somebody up there had connections on high;

They somehow convinced God to put you next in line;

You didn’t have a choice but to answer, I know you didn’t mean to leave those that love you most behind;

Another you will never be you’re one of a kind;

Trying to replace you would be a waste a time;

I know your Mamma is missing you so much and it brings tears to my eyes;

Knowing you were called so early in life;

You had it all in front of you, things I took for granted when I had the chance back then;

Things you will never experience and that I now regret;

I wish I could bring you back again;

I’d easily swap places with you my friend;

Just to bring a smile to your Mamma’s face again;

She is like a mother to me too, she always treated me like one of her own;

For that I cherish her more than gold;

I hardly see her now days, I promise you I’ll go see her soon;

My friend I don’t show emotions much, but I really miss you;

Thinking back to the day I got the news;

Asking God with tears in my eyes why you;

I didn’t want to believe it, guess it was hard facing the cold truth;

Yes I’m mad at the person who was driving that night;

Perhaps he could have taken it easier on that ride;

But I guess nobody can be blamed, we all have our destined time;

Still it hurts to know I never got to see you one last time;

I know we weren’t close and I knew you through a close friend of mine;

But as years passed I got to know you and it blows my mind;

You never once flipped out or treated me unkind;

You remained passive whenever we crossed paths;

I had the most respect for you, I just kept it in my heart;

Showing emotions for me has always been hard;

Guess it’s the result of life and the things I’ve been through;

But I want you to know my life wouldn’t be as good if God never allowed me to meet you;

I hope you’re doing well my friend;

You will always be close to me even though you’ve physically left;

In spirit you’ll always be here and I’ll never forget;

When I die after meeting Jesus, I’m coming too find you next, until we meet again my friend….
