Our Time

Our Time

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

keep the faith

"
What we know about time
can be measured in days
what has happened in our past
we have enjoyed in many ways
 
Wanting it to continue
will require being more clever
we have often come close
to losing life forever
 
The dim future ahead
will be known someday
maybe not by us
I find it hard to say
 
Those who are here
after we have gone
will probably consider
what we have done
 
Our history will include
those who we gave love
 they may share this with others
hoping we are somewhere above
 
Wherever we are
their memory will hold
the love that we gave them
as they too grow old
 
We all want to tell you
something that's true
you have been giving the love
your family gave to you
 
We see you sharing this love
 with so many of your friends
giving our help to others
is a goal that never ends
 

Do not despair
about anything these days
your kindness to others
will live on in so many ways

The memories we leave behind are our legacy and it is the legacy of love that all should strive to leave.
