The Passing

There is so little time, this life running out So many people to see, no doubt For life is leaving me This new dimension All to give This new situation Not long to live This armour stripped day by day, leaving the vulnerable you You don't have time and you know it too The words you want to say This anguish, so little time, every day, an extra wish This fragility, like glass, are shattered Its finality, only the love mattered So little time to spare, for the things to say straight from the heart For, you do care You must say today Furious anger at your weakness There is so little time, you must say today For there is no tomorrow only sorrow This thing eating you, powerless to stop Hurts too The people left behind, love is blind This pain hard to take, but you learn to fake So little time The things you want to say This pain won't go away Growing day by day Agonising so The pain you face You feel so low The pain you bear with grace This hope has gone The family weep The big "c" has won Inwards they turn In too deep This final goodbye This release from pain, the family sigh This pain borne for so long with strength and foritude inpired us all For you walk tall You did no wrong So little time to spare So little time for words to say but we knew you cared Pain day by day Your message sent But I knew what you meant When you went Your message sent I knew what you meant Spirit to fly The family cry So little time The family know One day........... we all say Our lives ...so short So small, yet dying affects us all but we are caught, for our time is short These battles fought So little time to spare Live for the day So many words to say This hour glass, running out fast So little time So much love So much to give Not long to live, before you are taken, you are not forsaken The gentle passing you have been taken your soul taken into god's care you are not forsaken no time to spare but the loved ones left behind do care no words are spoken your spirit awoken your spirit to fly no pain we will see you again the gentle passing hourglass shattered only love mattered on this passing
