You Never Know

You never know

when it's time to go

that is why

you gotta try

to do your best

this is a test

to use your time here

with those you hold dear

try to conquer fear

from year to year

you may shed a tear

knowing it's closer to

time to go

you know it's true

it's hard to let go

anyday

can happen anyway

young or old

weak or bold

truth be told

it is God's will

we're here until

our time is up...that's it

it's so hard to imagine it

but it will come someday

someway

we're never really ready for it any day

or is it just me

please comment, let's see

Now this is more like it. When it is time it is time and we all have to realize it.

profound in its simplicity of being the deepest emotion of the heart penned.The truth here is that which we all should pay attention to.A lifetime no matter the span of years is short in comparison to eternity,so what we have as a given gift of a lifetime,should be respected,shared,and made the most of.It is the given moments of self that make leave a legacy....great write!
