So dignified and great
Yet no one escapes their fate
Now lying in his bed dying
His wife by his bedside crying
With a twinkle in his eye
He does not ask why
Knowing his time is done
It may not seem so to some
He is grateful for his life
Yes, the end has come so soon
At least at first he thought
But then his head began to swoon
I'm 90, am I not?
It had all gone so fast
But of course it could not last
As he realized it was his time
Suddenly, it all turned on a dime
Time, in fact, a physical thing
Becoming his wing
As soon as he knew
He let go and flew
Yet no one escapes their fate
Now lying in his bed dying
His wife by his bedside crying
With a twinkle in his eye
He does not ask why
Knowing his time is done
It may not seem so to some
He is grateful for his life
Yes, the end has come so soon
At least at first he thought
But then his head began to swoon
I'm 90, am I not?
It had all gone so fast
But of course it could not last
As he realized it was his time
Suddenly, it all turned on a dime
Time, in fact, a physical thing
Becoming his wing
As soon as he knew
He let go and flew
Your expression touches the heart!
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of sad but then...time is really a physical thing, and we are it's prisoners...only death liberates us into timelessness and eternity I believe...
