Make Time

You stood beside their grave and cried but they won't understand Where were you before they died you did not hold their hand You filled your life with so many things that you just couldn't find the time Their life here is over and with that brings some feelings you can't define Time, it waits for no man something we all must know It's been this way since life began so while we live, let your feelings show We need to MAKE the time for those we care for and we love Before their life comes to a close and they join the angels above.

It is extremely important to make time, but also to really SPEAK about what can go wrong, about death. So many people are afraid to, and it is a shame, because if you do take that time, sit down and speak about the difficult things in life, that can be very rewarding. It can give peace and bring closer together

I think you are right Darren, communication is very valuable and many don't want to talk about death... as if speaking about it will bring it on. I do believe it IS fear, like you say. I know my kids won't let me mention it, they just tell me I will live forever... lol

This really is so true Lenna. We all need to take the time to visit, talk to, share with and just let those we love know that we love them, because no one's tomorrow is guaranteed. Really nice my friend.

So true Chris, and there is a sort of comfort, if something does happen, that you told them how you feel often enough. Thank You so much :) Happy you liked it !
