Mom’s favorite poem was:
“You blink your eyes and the days just fade away.
Where does the time go anyway? You always thought you would have more time
To sit back, relax and just rewind.
Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be said today.
Tomorrow will just become yesterday.
Don’t put off till tomorrow the things you need to say.”
