Sometimes within our lives
We forget what is important.
If we all recognize these things,
Then our lives would be a little better.
Some days are so long,
That it seems they will never end.
Other days just fly by,
Leaving us breathless.
As the passing of those days go,
It seems as if they never happened.
Until one day you awake
And find too many days have gone.
All of a sudden you hear,
That a loved one has passed,
Not knowing that anything was wrong,
And sadness find your heart.
What happed to all those days
That flew by unnoticed,
And the opportunities you missed
In showing the depth of your love?
Now is the time to mourn
For our loss of a dear one;
Not that she has passed beyond us,
But for the space she has left behind.
We know that she is there,
Watching over us all.
So let us not let days go by
Without showing love to others.
We will miss her dearly
For a very long time and more.
She is at peace now and forever,
And in Heaven with God.
Goodbye dear Pearlie May;
You will always be remembered.
