Last Time By B J Legros Kelley

Last Time Those little arms reached up to be held Last time a friendship felt a strong weld A last glance, a laugh with a precious loved one A last time, "Not now." to play catch with a son. That hug to a sister, waves as we drove 'way A last sunset, of gold, on that last dying day And what would we swear if we knew that last hope That was met with a "Not now" was only a "Nope!" To forever, and ever, with no turning back A memory vanquished of song on life's track. Family, neighbors, comrades or friend That chance for a 'Do lunch sometime!" has an end. The world is filled with noise and the climb And solitaire games, and the wasting of time The moments are passing, they're passing away Carpe diem, oh, my heart, seize the day <3 Copyright © BJ Legros Kelley | Year Posted 2023
