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.
