Life can pass in an instant
From this world; to heaven afar
Memories of love; a treasure priceless
Overflowing; infinite as the stars
But occasionally a second chance is granted
For the souls purpose is unfulfilled; is undone
The path home may be slow; may be painful
Each step a victory; a new journey begun
Lives will change; by one forever altered
Battles are fought; obstacles are overcome
Endurance is tested; family pulls together
The strength of love from many surrounds one
“The meaning of life”; no longer a question
As each breath celebrates a love kept near
Eyes are open to the wonders God created
In times of crisis; life’s purpose appears clear
We are here to touch those God puts before us
The significance of the touch at times unknown
As our life flows through the river of another
God merges our essence with the touch of His own
We must be joyful of each day we are granted
Let go… the inequities of our past
Search not… for what this world owes us
For the treasures of this world seldom last
We know not what destiny lies before us
In our life; no second chance guaranteed
We must live and celebrate each breath before us
Our lives reaching; as if predestined; those in need
