Smell The Roses

Love and cherish those near and dear to your heart
Present them the flowers while they can smell them
Man knows not when any of us will permanently depart
So don't take for granted any of your priceless gems
They'll come a day where you can only see them in pics
Because they've been irretrievably laid to rest in a casket
A heartbreaking lost that can make you inconsolably sick
And the tormenting grief can seem like it's everlasting
It's said that time eventually heals all of our wounds
That may be true for all the physical but not the mental
From seeing any of our loved ones retired into the tombs
Then all of their anniversaries make you feel sentimental
Their birthdays and the annual death day of their demise
Can conjure up vivid loving memories inside of your mind
And frequently can cause you to drop tears from your eyes
So while you have them in the flesh treat them very divine
