8 - The Call

How many loved ones must we lose
Before we awake

In lighting speed before we blink
From us, you do take

Those dear and near to our hearts
Oh, we should have stayed in touch

Technology gives us no excuse
Their loss now hurts so much

How hard in pace in life’s rat race
To call it has become

With no excuse, I now do make
For yes I am but one

To discard memory, love, and grief
I have once with them shared

Now I dare to ask myself
Of loss, is it not fair?

I pray to you for me to wake

And of my time to give not take

To share one moment with those dear

Of endless memories, hold them near

To give each one what they deserve

Till the end of time to them, I serve

To be a beacon of one light

Protect their souls with all my might

To pray for them and not forget

Of them, I am with no regret

To make one call if not a few

And tell them “hey, I love you too”

Distract us not from what is worth

Of endless pleasures on this earth

Give us the strength of those who love

And pray for all who are above

Help us protect their every move

And in their heart, we leave no bruise

Oh, shed a light on this our day

To show our care in every way

For those who mean the most to us

To not feel the grief of lovers loss

For time does pass, we know not where
To our loved ones we are not there
So shed your light before it’s late
Upon our heart with all your weight

To reach out to our lovers all
To dial our heart and make the call
