I Got An Email Today

I got an email today
It said an old friend of mine
Had died today

God had drawn the line
And his weary body
Was finally ready to cross

His family is at a loss
But just maybe
His spirit is ageless

I got an email today
It made me think of tomorrow
To reflect back at time borrowed

What would you do
If the doc told you
Your time has grown short

Get your life in order
Say your goodbye's
To your husband or wife

Say your goodbye's
To your kids
When they were your life

I got an email today
It told me life is too short
To sit back and waste

Isn't it great that we get little "taps on the shoulder" to bring us to a place to stop and smell the roses?

I think it's the sweetness of God helping us appreciate and embrace our time more effectively!

It's like a little "eye opener!"

wow

That's for sure, and "eye opener" and a reminder to cherish every moment.angel
