the importance of time

The importance of time (2008)

You never realize the importance of time
Unless a life holding meaning
Ends abruptly and for so long the longing
The odd sense that something is missing
Is all that remains to tell the story
Of lost moments and a faulty memory

Yet when you walk the straight and narrow
Holding fast to hope that lit your way
Years before you knew it was invaluable
To have your memory return
Because faith development led you there
But not only - to have it returned
Augmentedly refreshed, new moments possible
Unbelievable to most but not to God

Shared thoughts, shared concerns, shared moments
Humanity with a recognizable face
Humanity with an unalterably bittersweet-ness
There in trial and when things could be spoken
In a way that few would acknowledge
That two strangers met in the dark
And carried on for months with the light
To get stuck like glue, unable to say goodbye

Angel it’s time…. Don’t let my love be in vain
Angel it’s time…. Get out there and try again
Angel it’s time …. God gave us time and moments
Angel it’s time …. Don’t forget what I said
So his spirit watches, while my soul totters
And he waits for his words to be brought into light
For to live a life without him seems near impossible
Because of time spent & 3 years of assistance
That leap for Joy acknowledged
As I search once again ….. Because
Angel…. My Angel…. It’s time.
