Taken Without Warning

Cherish those you truly love ~ for one day they'll be gone
Heaven calls their name one morning taking them without a warning
Even though you hope you'll spend a lifetime together
Really listen to your heart ~ make every second count 
Instead of taking life for granted ~ grab it ~ love it ~ live it
Sadly we don’t hear these words and one day we’ll regret it 
Hug and kiss spend time together ~ loving memories cherish forever

I read a story about a man who never cared much for his wife until she died. He spent his life mourning for her.
