Borrowed Time (For Bampa)
Each moment we get to spend with you,
Each breath that passes between us…
It’s borrowed time we get to share.
Any minute it could end,
The smile on your lips now
Could be the last we get to see.
We love to hear your laugh,
We enjoy each interaction.
Borrowed time or not,
We enjoy every second we get.
Holding your hand,
Kissing your lips,
Touching your skin…
You open your eyes and we can’t help but remember
The younger man you used to be.
Strength is what you show us, each and every day.
You’re a fighter and a protector, but it’s ok now.
We are strong, too. We can take care of each other.
Now it’s time for you to take care of yourself.
When the peace is calling you,
Answer it…we will be ok.
We’ll see you again someday.
You are loved, as are we.
Borrowed time or not,
You are all we see.
