The beating heart beats with the breath of life within
As the hours pass in one's cycle of time years begin.
Into the day and night to see, feel, even touch
Only do we think about it not promised yours or mine as such?
Will we live being ready with God above
And realize this life there will not be
All the time to do things later of?
How scary and sad it is to think, yet in the end
Will there be the chance for you or them if one's breath ends?
May we make the time to get on our knees
Asking him above to have things right
With him and be with those we love.
Each breath we let pass into the months, days, and years
Not to pray or talk to God
To not be ready our final tears?
Are we taking time to say I love you to those we love?
Giving the time and moments the breath can stop no more of.
I hope that time gives us each a wake up call into the days ahead
We would draw closer to him and all instead.
We aren't promised tomorrow old or young alike
And if the breath goes what will matter is our eternal life.
Still take the time to make memories,
Hold loved one's to your heart,
Keep the light of him,
Don't let it grow dark.
If it does may we go to him in prayer
That a renewal will come inside us each
And our restoration will be there.
I wish time didn't have to come to an end
And that we could all embrace
And miles didn't seem to seperate persons.
To be there in the love with family and friends
To be close with all and no more distance
And one's breath didn't end.
But if we all will be ready, you, I, and each other.
We will be in heaven after this life is for us all over.
May we each pray for our families and friends
That when this life is over
We be together eternally without end.
