Unfortunately Life Is Not Forever. Poem by David Boyce

Unfortunately life is not forever.

When you love somebody dearly,
And their loss is on the cards,
You are waiting for that day to come,
Which you know will hit you really hard.

Seeing your loved one suffering,
With so much illness and pain,
Can put pressures on your own health,
And make everything seem like a strain.

You can make some arrangements together,
Ready for the inevitable day,
But the heartache and sorrow is hard to bear,
Wanting them to stay.

Unfortunately life is not forever,
And health there is no guarantee,
But that love between you both,
Is embedded in your soul for eternity.
