Last Time By B J Legros Kelley
Last Time
Those little arms reached up to be held
Last time a friendship felt a strong weld
A last glance, a laugh with a precious loved one
A last time, "Not now." to play catch with a son.
That hug to a sister, waves as we drove 'way
A last sunset, of gold, on that last dying day
And what would we swear if we knew that last hope
That was met with a "Not now" was only a "Nope!"
To forever, and ever, with no turning back
A memory vanquished of song on life's track.
Family, neighbors, comrades or friend
That chance for a 'Do lunch sometime!" has an end.
The world is filled with noise and the climb
And solitaire games, and the wasting of time
The moments are passing, they're passing away
Carpe diem, oh, my heart, seize the day <3
