The Passing
There is so little time,
this life running out
So many people to see,
no doubt
For life is leaving me
This new dimension
All to give
This new situation
Not long to live
This armour stripped day by day,
leaving the vulnerable you
You don't have time
and you know it too
The words you want to say
This anguish,
so little time,
every day,
an extra wish
This fragility,
like glass,
are shattered
Its finality,
only the love mattered
So little time to spare,
for the things to say
straight from the heart
For, you do care
You must say today
Furious anger
at your weakness
There is so little time,
you must say today
For there is no tomorrow
only sorrow
This thing eating you,
powerless to stop
Hurts too
The people left behind,
love is blind
This pain hard to take,
but you learn to fake
So little time
The things you want to say
This pain won't go away
Growing day by day
Agonising so
The pain you face
You feel so low
The pain you bear with grace
This hope has gone
The family weep
The big "c" has won
Inwards they turn
In too deep
This final goodbye
This release from pain,
the family sigh
This pain borne for so long
with strength and foritude
inpired us all
For you walk tall
You did no wrong
So little time to spare
So little time for words to say
but we knew you cared
Pain day by day
Your message sent
But I knew what you meant
When you went
Your message sent
I knew what you meant
Spirit to fly
The family cry
So little time
The family know
One day...........
we all say
Our lives ...so short
So small,
yet dying affects us all
but we are caught,
for our time is short
These battles fought
So little time to spare
Live for the day
So many words to say
This hour glass,
running out fast
So little time
So much love
So much to give
Not long to live,
before you are taken,
you are not forsaken
The gentle passing
you have been taken
your soul taken into god's care
you are not forsaken
no time to spare
but the loved ones left behind
do care
no words are spoken
your spirit awoken
your spirit to fly
no pain
we will see you again
the gentle passing
hourglass shattered
only love mattered
on this passing
