He Would Have Been 27

He would have been twenty-seven today
but it's no good to imagine
what could have been
It's no good to try and take my mind places
it has no business journeying

We used to be five, now we're four
but it's no good to mourn
now that time has passed
It's no good to wish for the time back
when I have no right to that wish

I used to feel much more invincible
but it's no good to pretend
that the future can't hurt
It's much better to learn from the past
and to know that I'm stronger because of it

Wow these words are so true. Did you write them Aimee? So useless to long for what might have been when you consider God's will. My greatest hope for my children's life is that they find eternal happiness through their loving relationship with Jesus Christ and desire to return to live with Him and heavenly Father. Scott has all of this and ultimate happiness. How could I want the past to change considering this? I pray my life will be worthy of the same eternal goal to be together with Scott and all my children forever in His presence.
