Loss

Quote by Poet
"Treat each day on earth as a gift, so just enjoy the present!"

Our life can suddenly be cut short 
We never know when our lives will end
Excess years, they cannot be bought
Now I’m mourning the loss of a friend

We recently met at the station
She had a smile on her lovely face
Excited about her next vacation
A sweet friend I can never replace

Many people are shocked by the loss
Her passing was such a surprise
Live life to the full, you’re the boss 
With death there’s no compromise

Lin Lane July 16, 2023 at 12:53 PM Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, Jan. I'm sorry about your friend for I know how much you cared about her. I know you'll think of her while away and wishing she were with you, but in your memory, she will be.
