A Time to Go

When is it time to go?
this, we will never know.
Was it His time to Go?
This only the Lord does know.
Can we prepare for this day?
Most often the answer is " Nay "
Consultation with and treatment by Doctors may forestall
the Reapers beckoning call
But, the exact determination of the final day
will be decided when the Lord has had his say

There is a Time to go and do our things
and enjoy the life that this day brings
Time to enjoy life while you can
and follow your dreams what you have planned
Follow those dreams and not delay
for we know not how our life will play
Play out in the order of celestial events
and Death is something we cannot prevent

Now is the time to prepare for what future will bring
for He is not there to help, to make life swing
Now is the time for all to pull together
so hope and feelings are not torn from fragile tether
Now it the time for others to pitch in
even if the closeness was very thin
They should be there to comfort and just be near,
be there to help in wiping away that painful tear.

In those Tomorrows it will be time to go
to mend your hearts with memories that flow
It will be time to go and do the things
which will some joy and happiness bring

Now is the Time to Go
and let your future life just flow.
Get yourself back on your feet
to see what life will bring as treat
For we know not, when We will have to go
to see our Saviour's Heavenly show.

I offer my deepest sympathy for Stanley's death I worked with him at Union Carbide and later Emballage Performant and he will be missed.
