Life is Very Precious

Our lives we take for granted
when our days are smooth and free
when our years become a hundred
when we feel eternity

Then suddenly when life's cut short
disaster takes its toll
our world is torn by enemies
thru misery untold

We watch humanity crumble
with horror in our eyes
the terror of all we ever feared
and we're forced to realize

How life is very precious
so delicate and frail
we never know from day to day
when we'll face life's final trail

So live each day, like it's the last
for you never really know
when the kiss you give to the one you love
may be your final chance to show

How much you care, how you really feel
what you hold deep in your heart
share it now, before it's too late
before tragedy plays it's part

So much we take for granted
when our days are smooth and free
it takes a painful nightmare
to make us really see

How life is very precious
and loved ones can depart
so suddenly when we least expect
missed forever in our heart.

LAST KISS

Little did I realize
when I held you tight last night
that it would be the very last time
for us to make our love feel right

Little did I realize
When I kissed you goodbye this morn
That I would never taste your lips again
And from my life you would be torn

Little did I realize
when I felt your last embrace
that it would be the last  smile I'd  see
from  your  gentle loving  face

Little did I realize
that your life would end today
that our love would end so suddenly
they'd be taking you away

Little did I realize
how much of you I'd miss
when you held me close within your arms
and gave me your last kiss
