The essence of a person stays To linger in your mind of store Remembering their touch and ways And thoughts you had of so much more The words you never came to say When time was right and moment yours The memories that you hold each day Imbed to time and arduous chores The face you cannot yet forget The smile that makes your mind recall Your now of face that cries regret This person that does haunt us all The conversation of tomorrow Now too late, it never came Those moments pass, one day the sorrow And the whispers of their name So now more open with my heart And words run free that I do share Before my friends and times depart I’d like to let them know I care So treat each day as if your last Your friends as gifts that found your door Remember moments end so fast And chances sometimes come no more |
