DEEP MESSAGE

A little boy asked me about the future...
I told him; 
It ends in the grave.
None wanna go sooner 
But it's the final destination for all.

Everything we're striving and thriving for
We'll live behind 
Then go to our future
Another world beyond 
To behold 
But through the grave.
In this life we come and we go
Nothing lasts forever.

Pray your next of kin
Don't waste all your efforts 
Everything you worked for.
Do everything within your power 
To leave a legacy behind 
That's what matters 
The only thing or reason 
People will remember you for, when you've gone beyond.
