"Time wasted is time lost.
We realise though, not the cost,
Until time wasted brings remorse
With no escape or recourse."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥
When a Loved one passes, the curtain's drawn;
A star on your stage is forever Gone.
There's no round trip, no returning,
Leaving emptiness filled with only yearning.
Time is precious with those we Love,
If taken for granted, the importance of,
With regret, we could be left,
Resentful, bitter about the theft
Of time, we feel's been stolen away
But time really, we allowed to stray.
When a Loved one's Gone, reality hits.
Your heart feels shattered into bits.
If however, you have no doubt
Your Loved one knew well about
How Loved they were and still, they are,
And in your life they were, are a star,
There is solace in knowing they knew
Before they left to be Gone from you.
Too often we think there's plenty of time,
Until one day there's a missing chime,
A chime we'll miss making our clock
Not quite in sync with its missing tock.
Our heart will still beat but not without ache
For no one can fill in the permanent break.
Those we rely on, their Love, their support,
We must never abandon, forget in our court.
Trust that's built, taken years to do,
Can't be redone the same, as true.
Gone is forever, can't be undone.
So, we must cherish each Loved one,
For we never can know which day is the last,
When a dearest presence will be Gone to our past.
