Eternal

Eternal As the tick tock of time starts catching up with me Soon these bones will be older as the cracks appear to see Like a wine maturing so does my mind knowing full well ill have to leave it behind Ironic really striving to be the best Ill end up on a pile with all the bones at best! Will I return ? That is unclear! Yet worrying over that wont help me here! Will i meet my dear departed that left the earth before I? Which journey should I take on this path where i die.. Ive watched the world change along with surprise Seen the rain forests dissapear watched the sun start to rise Watched the waves engulf the shore and dissapear into the still calm waters once more... Ive sat with the rich and dined without a dime Sinned with the sinners and drank their fine wine Yet the beauty I have is fragile I know As ill never see any of this again once I go... Fill my eyes with more than the seven wonders Ill take all you can show me and more! I want more! All the riches you can keep! I want more, So much more for me to be! I want more, All the memories I can hold! Is this life eternal? Or will I just get old?

If you believe a trusted positivism and live directly by it as complete as possible then life shall not end. Jehovah says so...John 17:3 Holy scriptures.
