I found this poem. It is a powerful reminder to tell our love ones how much we love them.
Before It Is Too Late
If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Do not wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today;
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent–
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
Written by Frank Herbert Sweet
Just beautiful. Thank you for the reminder.
Such an important reminder for all of us. Life is short and we need to appreciate each day. xo
what a perfect poem. I have been reading and reading through your blog and, although our situations are different I truly recognize the rawness of your grief. I lost my daughter four years ago and I remember that first year of pain like it was yesterday. It will always be difficult but not like those early days. I will keep you in my thoughts, wishing you strength and moments of peace.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. Wishing you peace and strength as well.
Beautiful, but so many people don’t realize how short life is….really kind of sad.
