Sand and Water



All alone, I didn't like the feeling.

All alone, I sat and cried.
All alone, I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside.

All alone, I came into this world.
All alone, I will someday die.
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby -
Sand and water, and a million years gone by.

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns.
I will hear you in the sound of the waves.
I will know you when I come, as we all will come,
Through the doors beyond the grave.

All alone, I came into this world.
All alone, I will someday die.
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby -
Sand and water, and a million years gone by.

- Beth Nielsen Chapman

Rest in peace, Tyler Ward. We will miss you.

"When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free....
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go...
For this is a journey that we all must take
and each must go alone,
It's all a part of a greater plan
a step on the road home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
go to the friends we know...
and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go."
by Caliban's dreams

The body is at rest and the spirit is free.

May his family and friends find joy in their memories and peace in their hearts.

"i'm sorry" seems so inadequate, but it's all i have.

What you wrote was beautiful and uplifting. My heart and prayers go out to Tyler's family and loved ones. I hope they are surrounded by an abundance of love and kindness from those that knew Tyler and those who didn't but wish they had.

I didn't, but I wish I had. I'll be thinking of Tyler's family.
