Fleeting

Love and Loss
both seem forever
yet both fleeting
sometimes forgotten
but keep the heart beating.

Life is so precious
our loved ones so dear
yet we take it for granted
we forget we should fear.

Always busy with trifles
never stopping to think
that which we love
can be gone in a blink.

Time cut so short
it always feels wrong
memories are all that you have
so make sure they're strong.

Can't change the past
the future can't be bet
the present is all that we have
better take all you can get.

Never waste a moment
Never waste a word
No matter how silly
No matter how absurd.

All very scary
it's too easy to worry
just try not to be
in so much of a hurry.

Whenever you can
savor things slow
and however you feel
just make sure they know.
