Last Good Byes

Reality sets in when a mother and a child are taking away in the blink of an eye.
Leaving so many wondering........why?
What we've have failed to realize is that it can happen just like that.
Truth is told it's the cold hard facts.

It could have been anyone of us
Or maybe even me.
But it was her.
It took something like this to occur to get us scared.

Now we want to show how much we care.
But it's to late.
There fate has been placed.

We will never know when it's are time to go.
So do less fussing and fighting,
And hold the ones you love close.
Because tomorrow you could be dropping a rose,
Watching the casket close..
