Just Today
Tick Tock
We have today;
Just today,
No promise for tomorrow.
Tick Tock
We have this hour.
We wake with eyes
To view one day.
Tick Tock
Our lives are changing,
We cannot see what future's store.
Tick Tock
Familiar faces fade in and out of daily lives.
Tick Tock
The lucky ones live long and healthy lives.
Tick Tock
Babies are born and some too soon must die.
Tick Tock
The world is changing,
Those long here marvel change.
Tick Tock
The second hand move us closer to the door.
Tock Tock
The blessed of all us
Learn from what has passed before.
An After Freewrite.
I was able to see my sister Saturday. She came to visit her ailing adoptive Mother at the nursing home. It was only the second time we have ever met. The first time was two years prior. We share our biological Mother and two siblings.
This was an emotional meeting where she came and hugged me tightly and told me her Mom had alzheimers and was now on palliative care and not eating. I met my brother-in-law for the first time that night. Sunday she messaged us that her mom had passed on.
This week a young 22 year old manager of Wendy's, where I've often picked up food, was shot in the leg and abdomen during an armed robbery. He died at the hospital almost upon arrival. This local young man was studying to be a preacher and had his first sermon scheduled in a week for the Nazerine church. He leaves behind a widow and a child. A vigil was held outside the Wendy's on Tuesday and all proceeds of sales went to the family as well as donation boxes set around all local Wendy's.
I just got off a phone call with my cousin who has breast cancer now spread to her lungs and lymph nodes.
Time passes quickly. We should handle it like the treasure it is.
Photo taken by me on Galaxy Note 10 Plus in a Cleveland, Ohio mall earlier this month and previously shared but fits the post.

Your poem is certainly true to life. We must enjoy and appreciate each day.
It’s nice you got to meet your sister. I’m sorry your cousin has cancer and it’s spreading.
It’s terrible about the young man that died after being shot. May he R.I.P.
Blessings!
Thank you, @redheadpei,it is wonderful to get to know the sister I prayed to meet since finding out she was out there for so long. Hugs! As for the sufferings, I pray that they find comfort.
The clock continues ticking and somehow we manage not to enjoy. I wish we lived without time, it's what we try.
You have a lot to deal with this week. I wish you strength.

Thank you,@wakeupkitty. I feel for the suffering of my family members.
@wandrnrose7 I hope it will not be suffering only 🙁
Me, too.
That was beautiful. I almost in tears.
Thank you my friend.
You're right! When we think about the brevity of life, we need to have a second thought of why we do what we do, why we say what we say, and why live the way we live. Thanks for your post. Tick Tock... Tick Tock...
