I wrote this poem in loving memory of Mum, on the 17th anniversary of her passing. It really doesn't pay To take life for granted every day Because it can all be taken away In the blink of an eye. Life seems to just drift along Like a never ending song Until someone dear to you is gone In the blink of an eye. Time heals all wounds, they say The pain will lessen every day When someone you love is taken away In the blink of an eye. As time passes, less often you will cry The pain dulls to a heavy sigh As the years fly by In the blink of an ee. Life goes on day by day Until one day you wake up and say "The years have flown away" In the blink of an eye. Mum, I don't know how to say I think about you every day I van't believe how the years have flown away In the blink of an eye.
