Tying Up Loose Ends
By 
Bud Lemire
 Some people get so very sick 
And pass away way too quick 
Many of them don't get a chance to do and say 
Much of what they need to before they pass away
Things that they should have done 
Arguments they might have had with someone 
Maybe a project they wanted to complete 
Before the end that they did meet 
It's not good to hold a grudge 
When one of you just won't budge 
Forgiveness is the way to go 
Life's too short for a feuding show 
On the Other Side, you'll review your lessons here on Earth 
From the day you passed, going all the way back to your birth 
Was there anything you could have changed 
Something that could have been rearranged 
Do it before your time comes to an end 
Cherish each moment and the time you spend 
Regrets should not follow you when you go 
Finish the things that only you know

Author Note:
  
Is there someone you had an argument with? 
Make up with them and forgive them. We carry 
those feelings with us and are forever wishing we 
had done something while we were here. Is there 
something you want to do before you pass. Do it 
as soon as you can. Don't wait. Time goes by very 
fast and tomorrow never comes, because when it gets 
here, it is today, and when it passes, it is yesterday. So 
do it today, so you won't have any regrets when it's your 
time to go. Heaven may call you Home at anytime.
