Some may go before us
While others are left behind
So treasure the time between us
While there still is time
Make the moments count
Don’t waste them with feuds
Let positive words and smiles
Set the trending moods
Watch as many sunsets
As you possibly can
Write eloquent love notes
In the ever-changing sand
Long for lasting love
But live it like you mean it
Be a friend for life
Always keeping your candle lit
Never have to say good-bye
But I will see you later
Knowing your faith is strong
And you know the Creator
I wrote this poem today, February 4, 2013, after reading about a young man taking his life at the tender age of 14, the same age as my daughter. How sad that life seemed so empty or hard that he just threw it away. Then I saw a post on a prayer wall about a woman losing her friend to cancer. We only have a short time to make relationships with others. Make those count. Let them know they are loved and that God longs to know them and love them too and give them eternal life filled with peace and joy.
