Pain and sorrow abound within

      until we try and find….

      exactly what we search for.

We never know ’til it’s too late

      exactly what we have…..

      ’cause we never took the time.

I wish I could take your pain

       Remember the days of laughter and joy….

       For they count most.

Remember that day, from long ago,

      for you will always treasure….

      even though it is long since past.
