The Brevity Of Life

We see the sunrise, and we say thanks be to God.

We see the sunset, and still, it is thanks be unto God.

Yet, so many kiss the morning, and see not the night.

Thus the commandment; love always with all your might.

Oh but to hold a simple treasure, only as simple as a breath.

Oh but to see the splendor of God in another day, defeating the claim of death.

However, and in too much sadness when we sing our last song.

We realize the brevity of life, and how we lack the chance to say to the ones we love so long.

Therefore, and alas spill these words in a wholesome and desperate plea.

Love…oh God, LOVE each other, each moment, for tomorrow we may never see.

Be thankful in all things, for we are blessed by God to see another day.
