"NOT TO WORRY"



Time passes by, sometimes in a hurry,our thoughts,our family,but not to worry.



Sometimes you feel sad,happy,or all alone,but not to worry,there's a second home.



Our beliefs,our feeling,we keep within,but it all come's out when we think of him.



The way he laughed,his love,his face

but not to worry he's in a better place.



He's gone forever, you may think, what to do? But not to worry he's always with you.He might be gone,but were always here,we'll share our love and pass the fear.



Know he's happy,know he's free,

but not to worry, let it be.



this poem was written by

Jesse Stoner 3 weeks before he passed.



i thought it would be good to share with matt's family and friends



R.I.P. Matt

4~ever in our hearts

"Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or lifetime is certain for those who are friends."
