To be gifted someone that loves you
To know that feeling in your heart
To be cared for well, and to feel safe
In life… that is the very best part
Love comes in many forms
And in many different ways
Sometimes it ends way too soon
Sometimes it gets to stay
We never know how long we'll have them
We won’t know when they will go
We learn to cherish moments and memories
Life is fragile and precious, that much we know
It is important to remember
That time is an unpredictable gift
And if we try harder not to waste it
Perhaps each moment will be less missed
How can we do this better?
How can we make the best of the time we’ve got?
I think we absolutely must remember
That time is a gift that cannot be bought
Whether our time with them is long or short
It’s not always in our hands
Why they were taken away too soon from us
We will never understand
The hardest thing about loving someone
Is when you have to say goodbye
There is no easy way to do that
You just have to feel, react, and cry
Every minute we are gifted time with them
And all the love they’ve thrown our way
Is a gift to be held onto tightly
It is ours, never to be given away
So, when it’s time to say goodbye
Despite the ache that we will feel
Despite the time that was stolen from us
Despite how many times we cry
Our love for them, and theirs for us will stay forever tucked inside….
