So Many Times

So Many Times

So many times we get caught up
in life's busy chapters
it's only after a sudden passing
we realize what matters

So many times in conversation
you rush off the phone
taken for granted a loved one
until by the grave
you stand beside them alone

So many times you assume
I will spend time with them soon
I will mark a date
for just us two

and then one day it happens
all the good intentions for not
because they are no longer here
now your life doesn't seem so busy does it?
when a loved one heart stops.....
