Enjoy Every Moment

In the beginning there was only joy
Friends laughing and playing
Every new day to enjoy
You know what I’m saying

Life was good, sunshine everyday
Even when it was raining
The sun was only seconds away
So it was just waiting

One day, I waited and waited
But the sun did not return
It remained silent and shaded
There was a lesson I had to learn

All good times come to an end
We might try and stop it
But we can’t endlessly bend
You might end up taking a hit

So enjoy all things while you can
You never know when it will end
When crap finally hits the fan
And it’s all impossible to mend

We don't always know the reasons why people come and go out of our lives and a friendship ends - we can only hope the sunny days return:-) hugs jan xx
