We think we have time,
All the time in the world,
To show those in our lives that we love them.
We think we have time to connect.
Or time to make amends.
Time to forgive.
But there’s a false sense of safety,
As the clock hands move slowly.
You say there’s time to call your mother.
Time to write your father.
Time to love your neighbor.
To forgive your family member.
But No one knows the time of their last breath.
Do it now- say I love you.
Do it now- time is not promised.
Don’t wait till a day comes.
When you lose a loved one.
Regret is a big burden to bear.
Love and forgive.
Show those you love that you care.
