No Guarantees

There are never any guarantees

Life begins and can end so quickly

Remember...

Being told of your first word ever spoken, to remembrance of getting that first bike, the anticipation of your first kiss, double dating, pizza after high school football games, first car, prom, graduation day, graduation night, onto college what a ride,
to the time you announce your getting married,
until the time the first child arrives, How happy
were you on that day? Remember, I do, what a miracle it was
Then finally saying goodbye to a close
friend and relative, the hurt, the pain, the feelings of
no guarantees, other than the fact, you know they are in
a better place, that my friend can be guaranteed, if you believe
I have been fortunate to live through all of the above and then some
So NO guarantees are simply words
But when you
Live life and make it exceed all expectations and
Give and feel and love the people within your heart
Then the No guarantees
Will be a little less painful
When the reality of No guarantees are
Finally understood
I write, I say, I mean and feel it
Know this, I love you
That's your guarantee...
