For Gilly
Time...it often
slips away
before we know it's
gone
And then we only
know it's lost
when we hear an
Angel's Song
We're shocked to
find we let it go,
That we didn't hold
on tighter;
That in its rush to
flee from us
it has stolen our
Love, our Fighter
Does Time know
that we feel pain?
That we need it to
stand still?
That once it leaves
us with a void
it's one that we
can never truly fill?
I want to scream at
it to STOP!
If only for a
Moment's Blink
so that I might
have the opportunity
to just close my
eyes and think
I want to capture
for a second longer
the last time that
I saw her smile
the last time that
I saw her beautiful eyes
tell me stories
that ran for miles
I want to see her
innocent wonder
as she watches the
sky, a bird
I want to watch her
speak with others
in words that can't
be heard
But Time has taken
her from us
and we're told to
just let her go
And again I can't
help but think
that there's
something Time should know...
We loved our Gilly
here, on Earth,
and in Heaven it
will be the same
Though Time keeps
moving without a glance
We won't play its
thoughtless game
In our hearts,
memories are photos
Not movies that
just run on
We hold these
photos close to us
because Time
insists in marching on
Precious Gilly will
fly away
and join her
friends in Heaven's joyous park
She'll run and jump
and sing her songs
and listen to Angel
Dogs as they bark
And she'll know
that Time has lost its power
There, beyond
Heaven's gate
That she is now
free to live again,
and that she'll
never have to wait
for Time to
give her chances
for Time to let
her grow
for Time to let
her stop and rest
for Time to let
her know
It's only here
we'll feel the pain
and suffer through
Time's heartless plan
as we learn to deal
with losing her
when Time took
her...and just ran
But knowing that
she now is Free,
That she'll never
again feel sorrow,
That Time has lost
its hold on her
I think I might
just have the strength
for facing my
Tomorrow
