Old enough to know better ... Young enough to do it anyway

Alvleesklier kanker heeft je van ons afgenomen ...

Je vetrok op 1 april 2008 ... nog niet eens 34 jaar

 

zoveel zieltjes aangeraakt,

zoveel kinderen gelukkig gemaakt,

telkens op haar gezicht die mooie lach

zelden uit haar mond een woordje beklag

zo snel tevree en stond altijd klaar,

strelingen van geluk schonk ze met één gebaar,

de ziekte zorgde voor veel verdriet en boosheid,

ze streed ondanks een ongelijke strijd,

ze vocht voor alles wat voor haar heeft geteld,

onze kleine meid, onze grote held.

if all is lost
and no one knows
what’s left of this
where this could go
take my hand
and walk with me
I’ll guide you
through all life’s misery

 A new dawn has begun
done with being on the run
regaining my feelings of trust
finding things I’ve presumed were lost
leaving a road to insanity
turning to I can be whatever I want to be
it’s time to start feeling again

I was always by your side
and never seemed to know
the pains you carried with you
and why they’ve hurt you so

and now you start to wonder
what if you had shared all your fears
would you have kept on running
would I have dried your tears

the feelings that you share
the weakness that you show
can only bring you closer to me
I will never judge you nor let you go

you never seem to forget
the things that have hurt you most
the pains that keep you haunted
as if they were a ghost

you can keep on running
and pretend they aren’t there
because to turn arround and face them
is too much of a scare

surviving all that pain
and let your heart keep on giving
the art of healing
that is what we call living
