Words of Comfort for Maryann

Time

Time goes by so fast
Your invincible youth’s in the past

That love you could not live without
Brought a life full of love and doubt

The hustle of making a living
Distracts you from loving and giving

To the ones who nurtured you through
All the scrapes, the falls and the schools

The sands of the hour glass fall
Now, the memories you try to recall

Are the warmth of those loving arms
And the safety you had from all harm

Now, as you lay them to rest
You wonder if you’re up to the test

You know deep in your heart
Your loved one’s life’s at a start

Someday you will join them there
And it will be a grand affair
