Time passes so quickly there's no time to waste <br />Spend time with your family, don't hesitate <br />For you never know if tomorrow will come <br />Show your love to all, and not just to some <br />You never know the impact that you will make <br />Make sure your actions are real and not fake <br />If tomorrow comes and your loved ones are gone <br />Your life is in despair and you're left all alone <br />Yesterday is gone and you can't get it back <br />Your heart is left cold, and your feelings now you lack <br />It's regrets you'll feel with a broken heart <br />You say 'God if I could have just one more start' <br />But time that is lost can never again be found <br />There's only quietness, no more laughter or sound <br />So use wisely the time in which you've been given <br />Don't be wasteful and make sure that you are living <br />Your family is a precious gift from the Lord <br />Always show them love and don't strike them with a sword <br />No human is perfect for we all make mistakes <br />We must learn forgiveness before it's to late <br />If love we freely give then love we'll freely get <br />And when it's heaven time, we'll be ready you can bet<br /><br />Pamela O.
