Loss Of A Loved One

Live every day to the fullest and appreciate the time you have here
Tell the people in your life how much you love them and hold them near
You can be called up to heaven any time without warning, the timing of which you may never know
In most instances, you are probably not ready to go
Everyone's journey here will have a return date
What we do with our time here will help determine our fate 
For us to survive every day millions of things in our bodies have to be in sync
For sure a greater power must exist, wouldn't you think
When a loved one is called to join the family members gone before them
Know that they will be in your heart until you join them again
Life's door will open and close for everyone, make no mistake 
It's just a question of when we all return to the pearly gates
