Born Terminal

Born terminal Ashes to ashes dust to dust Death will ultimately come to us Here today and hopeful tomorrow The end comes quick then overcome by sorrow One day it will arrive for each one of us The death you see is a terminal must When we're born, we begin to die We can't avoid death regardless of what's tried Do you ever think of death in a severe way Regardless of much, you wish to stay Ever imagine what life would be without you The Reaper will come irrespective of who Death is a discarded thought in time Buried thoughts so deep in your mind Some go early, and some go late Most of us wish we could pick the date It saddens me that life is so short and so quick to pass But regardless of my thoughts, life's time is fast So enjoy the short time we have here on earth Try to enjoy your life for what it's worth Smile and sing and enjoy each day Forgive and forget hold anger at bay Hug your loved ones and treat them with kindness Your time on earth is far from timeless Always keep this thought in mind You'll never outlast the word called TIME.
