Wake Up Call
(Dedicated to all the Ladies of WOSIB)


I woke up one day
and found that I had
friends

and though i'd never
met them
i felt close
 and loved
i wasn't afraid

how truly amazing

i must tell them
how much i appreciate it
 before it's too late.

	~~

I woke up one day
and discovered that
i wasn't alone
i had people to share
things with

and they shared back

how truly amazing

i must tell them
how much i appreciate it
 before it's too late.

	~~

I woke up one day
and realized that
we all grew up together
in one way or another

we all left special gifts
inside each others heart
and Soul
and email addresses

how truly amazing

i must tell them
how much i appreciate it
 before it's too late.

	~~

One day I didn't wake up
and I didn't get to say
goodbye

didn't get to say thank you
	or even that I love you

or to give or to receive
yet another special gift

but how truly amazing
i felt their presence
follow me to Heaven.

	~~

I saw each smile -
I felt each tear -
 	and though i didn't look back,

I knew they were there.

And I rode to Heaven
on that Golden Light
of friendship we shared:

how truly amazing
that some gifts live
on

long after the Wake Up Call
                            that never comes . . .

 long after your gone

how truly amazing......

	~~

God, tell them to let each other
know now how much they appreciate it
	before there's not a chance
	before they never wake up again
 	before it's too late
