Till Death Do Us Part

We are here but a short time yet we met and love many people some we make mistakes with find that they weren't real friends yet even when things go wrong move on taking the best with you leave all the niggling negatives behind all they do is mess with your mind I have lived in several places aboard hopefully taking the good on with me one thing I know wherever you live people seem to fall into various types some become friends, real friends the sort who stand by you all the time who give without ever being asked and to who you return all the help you can most are fair weather friends, they run and hide leaving you in the lurch time after time they will steal your lover or husband without batting an eye, its sad but true As you go through the years you soon learn you come to distrust until their worth is proved then there's those who sweet talk you taking your heart that's the saddest of all, still you learn to guard it One day you meet a true love on who's shoulder you can lay your weary heart knowing its finally safe you share your hopes, your aspirations and dreams make plans, set up home and raise your children Then one day, in a blink its all gone, gone not forgotten you have all the memories of the good times you shared the hardest of all is you are still here struggling on the cruel hand of death has struck taking them leaving you In a flash life has changed become just so very grey you mourn and try to be strong hard as it is for you there's others who still need you rely on you but I tell you this its not easy when they pass on

''Then one day, in a blink its all gone, gone not forgotten you have all the memories of the good times you shared the hardest of all is you are still here struggling on the cruel hand of death has struck taking them leaving you'' I really liked the latter stanza dear Shadow,very true honest heartfelt piece.
