This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say
You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together
I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say
This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry

I reflected on a lot of things today and just
wanted to let each and everyone of you know that you have made an
impact in my life. I just want to thank you. I woke up this morning to
find out that one of my friends passed away earlier this week. Although
it has been a real shock and a reality check for me, I realized that
God really does things for certain reasons that we can't really grasp
and question Him. I have attached onto this e-mail a link to the
headline of our campus newspaper. This is the story about my friend. I
just want to ask you for a moment of your day to reflect on your life
and thank God for all that he has given you, whether it be the people
around you or the chair that you are sitting on right now. If you could
also please pray for the family and the friends that are all grieving
right now, pray that they will be comforted and be able to continue on
with their lives that God has planned for them. Again, I just want to
thank you for the friendship and love that you have given me in my
life, regardless of whether I saw you earlier today or if we haven't
even spoken and/or came across each other in years. I truly do
appreciate the friendship and the times we had together. May God
continue to bless you and your family. Please let me know if there is
anything that I can pray for you about =)
In Christ Alone, Jennifer Kwan
