A Time Will Come

When a family member is dying The whole family is plunged into despair. It is heartbreaking to see a once active relative In a hospital bed in pain lying there It is hard to imagine that this is the same individual Who was previously so active and full of life? It may feel strange and uncomfortable to spend time With a loved one knowing their time has arrived Most of us feel helpless in the hospital Seeing them there fighting to survive There may be an opportunity to share a moment That you treasure for the rest of your life And on the day the heavenly father calls For them to return home to him The faith and hope that shines so bright Has all of a suddenly becomes dim But we must always have trust in the almighty For he is the creator of everything And we know he has a plan for all of us Regardless to what religion you believe in We will reflect on the lives of the departed The legacy that they has left behind And we know that their soul is around us So we keep looking out for that sign We will make mistakes because no one is perfect And we can never please everyone But we have to think of what memory leave When we are dead and gone That day will come to all of us Children, young and old No one knows the time god will say Its time to leave this world And our deeds will be the key To open or close heaven’s door If we crave Possessions and wealth It will mean nothing to us anymore We can never rewind our lives So we have to be careful of the role we play And imprints we leave in people lives Is what they will remember on that day? My very good friend father just past away And I feel her sorrow and pain But I know she love her father dearly And in her heart he will always remain And he is walking thru the gates of heaven Free of all sorrow and pain Where one day his family Will see and greet him again We wish we can keep love ones save Shield and protected in our hearts Knowing they will always be there No matter what weather is on the charts But it all is just wishful thinking A fantasy we all have in our mind And that day will come to everyone For no one can stop the time If any thing ever happens to the woman I love with all my heart and soul Will hold her in my arms forever And together we will leave this world
