Have you ever lost someone close, someone special, someone who really mattered?
Have you attended a funeral, watched a burial or been responsible for ashes scattered?
Then you, my friend, are very blessed knowing that nothing stays in our life forever
Things and people are just passing through, and that is a fact we have to weather
But that’s your gift, your blessing, the lesson you have been privileged to receive
You know how precious life is, not a moment to be wasted, good things to believe
You no longer take people or things for granted, and never let friendships lapse
You give thanks for the rise and setting of the sun, and fresh water in your taps
You stop and tell people you love them, you compliment, and tell people you care
You make time for those who matter and your words of love are frequent not rare
Whilst the game of life is harsh and the lesson can be unbearable for a while
Remember that life is a gift, meant to be enjoyed, it’s okay to keep your smile.
