Moments - We Live Until We Die

Special moments arrive for no reason or rhyme.
Others can get lost in the fast gaps of time.
Savor each one that’s offered, they may not come again.
The next one you get could be the loss of a friend.

Each one is special the good and the bad.
They give us memories of our loved ones and the good times that we’ve had.
They might be with your Sister, a friend or your brother.
Don’t ever try to trade one for another.

Save them every one, keep good track of where they go.
Your moments make memories that are greater than any show.
They allow us to visit our parents or any friends we may have lost.
Always cherish and protect them, no matter what they cost.

Life goes by fast and pictures can fade away.
It’s all about moments and living for each day.
Communication is key, keep your loved ones close by.
We are not promised tomorrow, we live until we die.

I went to my cardiologist today. It sounds like I'm going to live for awhile longer. lol An echocardiogram in two weeks to see if my ejection fraction is below 38 yet. All of these darn tests always gets my mind going. Damn broken brain.
