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
