He mattered...
To have meant something special to somebody else,
To have made a small difference simply being himself,
To believe this three-winged circus,
Had fulfilled some earthly purpose.
He mattered...
Before he was gone,
To have once been the shoulder that someone leaned on,
To have been the safe harbor in some-one´s sad storm,
To know someone was blessed
because he was born.
He mattered...
As much as he was able,
To be more than a faded face framed on some table.
For if he were to be framed, he´d want it to be,
In somebody´s heart for eternity.
Though fragile and foolish and flawed, he sincerely,
Wanted someone to fondly remember him here.
More than being praised, more than being flattered,
He needed to know without a doubt that somehow...
he mattered...
May you Rest In Peace Tom.
YOU MATTERED!
