Now

Do not let time
Be a predator
Who stalks those you love

Do not let time
Steal the moments of your life
Those that make you who you are
And who you are to become

But rather journey with time
And use it’s force to comfort and hold
And cherish the moments you relish

With the ones you care for
With the ones you live and die for
Your family
Your blood
Your understanding

And never forget !
You are worth the life God gave you
Live and love with it

Eric (and sometimes not)
