Time, So Much Time

Time, so much time on our hands,
Minutes, hours and weeks,
Fall into months and then a year,
How much time is there to care.
Healthy today and sick tomorrow,
Living life through sickness and sorrow.
Nothing to lose, nothing more to gain,
Just the hurt from all the pain.

Never knowing how our lives will go,
To all our loved ones strength to show.
Before we know it, our life is long gone,
We are sent to heaven, where we belong.
Greeted at the gate, by loved ones before,
As they smile and shake  hands at the door.
I look back at the loved ones down below,
They just don’t understand why I had to go.

So many tears are shed in sorrow,
The pain will ease with each tomorrow.
So much love they’ve given over the years,
That protected me from pain and fears.
I’ll now rest with the Angels in white,
Know that I’ll not suffer tonight,
I’m held In the arms of my Father here,
He’ll keep me safe and from all fear.

Rest now and be sure I am loved,
As I live my new life up above,
Soon we’ll again be side by side,
And God the Father will to be your guide.
Use only your tears, to wash the pain away,
Continue to keep me in your thoughts every day,
Until we again meet  up above the sky,
Where there’s no reason to ever cry
