Your Birthday
By Roy Merritt

So today is your birthday another year gone by
One more year older a thought to make one cry
Another year upon the pile another year has left
And another year you know you closing in on death
And upon that time you not certain, not certain where and when
But you know for sure it’s coming, coming to you in the end
And once it does the years will pass, will pass come and go
Without any notice by you, this you surely know
Not by you or any of those who’ve come this very way
The millions upon millions who’ve seen the light of day
Those that dwell in darkness now and silence be all around
As they mortify and turn to dust ‘neath some hallowed ground
And you can be certain with little regard or doubt 
The numbers will grow and grow as if water from a spout
Because Death it has a hunger, a hunger to increase the score
He hungers for very many, hungers for many more
And he knows this for sure he knows this indeed
This day will come to you a day perhaps to bleed
To bleed upon some wreckage perhaps of man made ways
You upon that time to die and cease any future days
Or disease will embrace you in its reliable course
Will mount you upon its steed upon its fearsome horse
And gallop forth forever and make you forever a slave
Forever from now on chained down into the grave
Perhaps to ponder the life you had and how this life you spent
And how you lost your soul and wonder it went
To wonder where it went wonder where it went
