Gather what you Will- a poem

I close my eyes and try to see

The last time that you smiled,

Quite unaware that you would soon

Be leaving in a while.

OUR sight of life is limited

To where we are today.

Which makes it even more intense

To speak what you must say.

FOR time will turn the pages still,

Though you’ve not fully read,

The chapter you are living now

Or heard the words yet said.

AND when the page is turned in life,

Then gather what you will.

For though the view is different so—

The love will live on still.
