Treasure the time had with those you have lost
For we can never know when it will end
Will we be here tomorrow
Will we see the sunrise
Will we see the sunset
Only God in Heaven knows our fate
Draw close, those you hold so dear
Hug them and kiss them and tell them that you love them
For regrets are most damaging to the soul
The past is in the past
Time gone, is gone never to return
Let good memories be of comfort to you
We pray that sadness will not be your constant companion
Live on for them
Thrive for them
Keep their spirit alive through you
Know that they are with you, watching over you
Smiling upon you in everything that you do
Take solace in knowing that they love you
For one day your spirits will reunite in the heavens

I read this today on a fellow blogger’s website and considering when it was written, and what it’s about, I’m assuming it has to do with the loss of the precious children and the brave adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. Hopefully, you’ll find comfort in what is written.
Thank you so much and thank you for reblogging the poem. Yes it was written for the children senselessly lost at Sandy Hook Elementary.
You’re welcome! It was a very touching poem!
