When time is nigh means time to die and now you know the when and why suddenly you have so many reasons to live Wishing for ways you could change all the days your raging pain kept your ire ablaze with so much more than anger left to give Everything thought so important to you becomes of the least your heart now longs to do All of your thoughts are focused on what they’ll remember Did the warmth of my fire bring comfort or pain my brightness of light enough to remain before the flame became a dying ember Now you can see from the other side from nothingness with nowhere to hide the light to fade with the setting of your sun There’s nothing I can change of the past but pray it all will make its last impression be of love for what is done. ~Jeannie Cronin
