In Her Name (Chelsea)
Permalink  

As some of you know a friend of my 15 year old son chose to take her life. She shot herself and lived for about 12 hours.
My son wrote these words and music. I wish you could hear it, it's really beautiful.
Just wanted to share.

IN HER NAME (Chelsea)

Girl, I wish you would have told me about all your pain.
Don't you know we're all a little bit insane?
Couldn't you make it through one more day..
Could have gave me a shout out.... heeeyyyyy

(Chorus)
In her name I cry out
I wonder why..
Why you chose to die
Couldn't you cope? Couldn't you try....
Anymore

I can't get it straight and I can't understand
Couldn't you tell me or take my hand?
I can't get my mind around that you're gone
I just know it hurts and your life is done.

(Chorus)
In her name I cry out
I wonder why..
Why you chose to die
Couldn't you cope? Couldn't you try....
Anymore

Heaven's a better place cuz you are there
Fly with Angels, let the wind blow your hair.
The pain is over, you can fly free.
And sometimes girl, smile down at me.

(Chorus)
In her name I cry out
I wonder why..
Why you chose to die
Couldn't you cope? Couldn't you try....
Anymore

Taylor/2006

That was absolutely wonderful.. Your son has a great spirit in him and a beautiful way to express his feelings.  So sad that a life had to be lost.

What an incredible young man.  It is wonderful for him to have the outlet to write such a painful song.  Bless him.

((((((((((((CJO's son, CJO and Chelsea))))))))))))))),


I am sad too.  I've had to watch good friends deal with suicides -- such a profound sadness.


Kind of reminds me of Tommy Shane Steiner's Song "What If She's An Angel?"  I ask myself each day, am I making a difference in someone's life?  Does not matter what they look like, what their socio-economic class is, color, etc. etc. etc. because each day we can make a difference in someone's life.


Love you two


Maria
