Treasure In The Sky
by Courtney Flores


As I look up into the sky,
I find myself start to cry.
I know he is there,
watching over me.
The year passed quickly,
acted like nothing happened,
But I know I will never see him again,
Not until my life ends.
Why did he have to go?
No one knows.
He took his own life, which makes matters worse,
He was so loved, yet again cursed.
I know I can't change it, but if only I could.
I'd take his hand, and show him what he can do.
Scholarships, love, family, friends, so much more.
Why did his life have to end?
So many questions that will be untold,
I cannot ask the public, What do they know?
I can only wonder about the questions, and never get an answer,
Not until the day we meet again, in heaven.
I never got to say good-bye,
and all I do now is cry.
If only I can say it, give him one last hug,
It have might of changed forever
Now I only want to be together.
So now I say good-bye, Standing there and cry.
That is all I think of, when I look into the sky.
