Only Time Will Tell
I heard the saddest news today
an old friend of mine has passed.
It made me stop and ponder
how life goes by so fast.
It doesn’t seem that long ago
since we shared a social drink
but now I stop and think of it
it’s been longer than I think.
His passing made me realise
just how much our time is worth
and we should live life to the fullest
in this time we have on earth.
We think we have forever
before our last farewell
but no one knows how long we have
and only time will tell.
Like sand slipping through our fingers
time escapes our mortal grasp,
so embrace each simple moment
As though it was your last.
I heard the saddest news today
friend of mine has passed.
