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
