Life goes by so fast, time just marches on
Long before we realise what we might lose, and that they are no longer playing our song
We take things for granted, the people we see everyday
Before we know it they are taken, and we are just blown away

I try hard to live each day for the true gift it was meant to be
Instead though I'm just as guilty as the rest, and it leaves me hurting
Life goes as quickly as the passing of a season
Time rearranges our lives, and we are left seeking the reason

We wish we could rewind, but all of us know that is only a dream
When we realise life has been robbed from us, we're left with an anger that screams
What if there was a time machine, and one could go back in time, and do it all differently
Would we then be happier, and would our hearts be more complete?

These and more thoughts run randomly through my head
Sometimes when I'm trying to sleep at night, and only end up tossing in my bed
I know only one thing that I've learned in this life to be true
We need to treasure each day, or else tomorrow we'll be left feeling blue

With the ticking of the clock, day turns into night, and then night back into day
The days pass into one another, and it's always going to be this way
If we stop for a moment though, and hold on for a second longer to the love that we share
We'll realise it doesn't matter the time we have with them, but more the people who it is that so willingly care

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

(big hugggsssssss) Despite the many tears I've went through in my childhood, I wouldn't change a thing, as I just wouldn't be the same person, and I would never have understood compassion and be just as selfish as many other people! (kiss on cheek) So I will just move on and admire and embrace each moment and love my loved ones with all my heart, sweet friend, may you cherish each day and hug the memories close to your heart, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
