Before they're gone
No time to pause and ponder,
Awareness dawns only when they're gone,
Beloved ones nearing the end,
Embrace them at every turn,
Avoid being the one left in tears,
Crying won't bring them back
Standing right beside you, they remain,
Parents surrounding with love unfeigned,
Brother turned forty-seven, you see,
Lifetime... lifetime was as if a black box,
Unveiled only when time has arrived,
Always too late to ask, to those who have died.
These days may not be our last,
Different they may be, a contrast,
But within each day, there's still some good,
Though closeness may be misunderstood.
Distance makes parting easier to bear,
But the hardest is feeling alone, in despair.
Rests... Rests by your side, maybe,
First love lingers in their heart, you see,
Every memory cherished, on the wall it's hung,
Lifetime... lifetime was as if a black box,
Unveiled only when time has arrived,
Always too late to ask, to those who have died.
