Death Is So Very Final


Life is very fleeting. What seems like a long time in years can be gone in an instant. How long is long?
When you care for someone, casual or not, it can end rather quickly, suddenly and seem so unfair. Simple acts of kindness can stay with you and them forever. It makes one pause and think that the good things must be shared with them, something as simple as a hug or a thank you all count. With that thought in mind, allow me to repost the following.


Don't Wait, Say It Now

someone dies
people gather
some cry
some talk
some wonder
too soon
too late

much done
much to do
full of promise
promise unfullfilled
what happened
what went wrong

he she
never looked better
never liked
never loved
don't care
no longer

people talk
say nice things
very nice
wonderful
touching

to the point
say good things
now
don't wait
getting older
send a card
make a visit
let them know
you care

love
will miss
touched your life
don't let them miss
out on thoughts
you could
go first

I had lifted the title from an e mail I had received from someone having a tough time, Sometimes death seems all around us. You are welcome.
