Benjamin "Shrek" Shreckengost

 

 

The news was hard to swallow
The words echoing within my mind
How can a world have taken
a heart so pure and kind

As I thought about the tragedy
As the tears flowing from my eyes
I think about your struggles
your smiles within your tries

Full of life and energy
Daredevil to your fun
You left your mark within our hearts
The Span of your homerun


We question why you were taken
This sadness has no end
God was lonely in the heaven's
and needed a companion and friend


Author notes

My friend Ben was killed in a motorcycle accident this past saturday. 10-27-07. May he rest in peace and be a friend to God. He was 20 years old. So full of life and love!

    A sad event and a cause to grieve...

    At a funeral I heard the speaker say, "Death is God's way of rescuing us from mortality." With that thought in mind, death takes on a different feeling for me. The long view of eternity shows our Earth life to be but a brief moment, even if we live long lives here. I am so sad for your young friend's family and friends. No doubt, though, (in my mind) he is supremely happy in his new home in Heaven.

    well now this really choked me up and I had to make several attempts at swalling back the tears. I am truly sorry for your loss but am sure that he sits at God's side now. May you find comfort within this very loving tribute you have penned for such a dear soul!!

    I am so truly sorry

    We never truly understand why the wonderful people are taken so young . But we hope that this day he rides within the thunder of the clouds with God by his side .
    I pray that his friends and family knows he rides this day and in heaven he rides a super slab of gold and has a front seat overlooking the world .

    Let not your heart be burdened

    i'm so sorry to hear about your friend , i hope that his family and friends can find peace some how , knowing that he has left this earth and is in a better place can be comforting if you can imagine it , in your heart and your spirit , may the Lords peace be upon you on this sad time of sorrow and let his comforting spirit flow through you to help you see the light on the other side , may his blessings be many unto you and let this soul rest in peace now as he is with the Lord thy God who is in heaven who created the Angels and the universe and knows all hearts and what we think before we do , let this day be a memory of this soul and may your hearts be touched by his guiding hand , the one who died for us so that we may have everlasting life if we believe in him.....
