Life is Fleeting
In the last couple of days I have been reminded how fragile life is and I wrote this poem...... Life is fleeting….. Today your here, tomorrow gone. A memory left, a family alone. Hearts broken, peace be still Dreams lost, hope unfilled. A fight that was fought, memories made, Hope instilled Hope betrayed Life is fleeting, then it’s gone… Hold them close, Hold them strong. Tomorrow is not promised Today is here.. Life is short Time is near A vapor some say Life today Here, then gone… Vanishing before our eyes Like a song…. Strong, soft, weak The time is near, The time is now…. Life is fleeting You wonder how… Where did it go Why…. But life is fleeting then gone Like a vapor, a song.. Time not promised. The present is here Love them now, Hold them dear. Mary Lewis 11/14
