For Jeremiah

Location

If I could change one thing,

I would bring back Jeremiah.

If I could change one thing,

It would be the last thing I said.

If I could change one thing,

I would say "You are loved, never give up."

If I could change one thing,

It would be to watch him LIVE.

If I could change one thing,

I would bring Jeremiah back.

But the past cannot be changed.

As much as it aches and pains,

As much as I wish I could see his beautiful smile once more...

I am here right now, 

And I CAN change the lives of children NOW

The lives of those who feel they are at an end,

That they have nothing left to live for. 

I CAN change one thing,

And that is to tell someone that they are beautiful,

That they are loved.

That they have PURPOSE.

I can change one thing,

I can stop suicide.
