Embrace

 

Has it ever popped into your mind that everything could change in a snap? In 3 hours, a week, a month or years. 

Your 3 month-old-baby no longer needs their lil pajamas that you pick carefully at the store. 

Your 4 year-old son no longer asking random question, cause he’s off at the new preschool.

No sister to help you choose which top looks best, cause she’s already left for work.

Your grandpa no longer waits for you in the front of his yard, cause he has a new yard by the river now.

Your mom no longer prepares the best dish you can take to work, cause you live thousand miles away.

No friend available for Friday night coffee to talk about random shit, cause they choose not to.

No one. No longer.

They not changing cause they want, cause they need to.

Without even knowing, they start chasing priorities.

They choose who to spend time with.

Days fill up with quiet, unseen responsibilities.

No one.

Yet also, no one to blame.

It's just like the afternoon meet the night

The morning meet twilight

Forever is not just the light.

Sometimes it’s the end of the sight.

So, embrace.

Stare at your baby when he slept.

Answer all the son’s stupid questions not because you want, but you have to.

Appreciate your siblings for they small gestures, cause her time hits different now.

Look deeply into your grandpa’s eyes, while he still talks.

Compliment your mom dish cause what they need else from her daughter.

Put your phone down when your friends talking shit about their colleague at work.

I swear, it’s a snap of finger.

A freakin snap of finger.

It would be change.
