Time Missed..
Alicia Barajas 1988 (Lancaster)
What are memories but a thing of the past?
Moving forward with life not knowing
How much time has truly passed..
We tend to focus on what the future holds,
And forget about the present time, the now.
Stop and smell the roses, smile and laugh,
Hold your kids tight and live to see them grow.
Once you live in the memories,
Who will be there to reminisce ?
By then it will be to late to hear the laughs,
Feel the right hugs and little lip kiss.
Kids will be to grown to hang out with you,
They will have started a family of their own.
Just in a blink of an eye,
They will have already grown.
So live life for today, in present time.
Make them laugh, give them kisses and squeeze tight. You never know when time will stop, you don’t know when you’ll have your last fight.
