One Hour Ago

Time and fate are unpredictable as united in life they flow Take the man and the woman in this story…lets go back an hour ago. They had a pleasant morning…she had coffee…he…cocoa as they talked and laughed together…only an hour ago. When the policeman told him she was gone…he screamed…he hollered NO! You must be mistaken, he cried…she was here an hour ago. You must be confused…I’m sure…in fact…I know you must have the wrong person…we were together an hour ago. The policeman explained there was an accident…it happened in the snow she died immediately, the doctor said…about an hour ago. The policeman stood in silence…as the man swayed to and fro Thinking how his life was different…only an hour ago. The policeman’s seen it many times…he never gets use to it though… How people wish their lives would return to where they were an hour ago… He sees it on their faces…they instantly lose their glow when they realize their life will never be the same as it was an hour ago… It reminds us all to cherish every moment…because we truly never know when our life will change forever…like theirs did…one hour ago.
