Dust To Dust

From dust we come, and to dust we'll go A fleeting existence, a transient glow Our life, a mere moment in time A journey that ends, with the chime Dust to dust, the cycle of life A never-ending ebb and flow, rife A reminder that nothing lasts forever That every bond, every tie, we must sever Dust to dust, we leave no trace Only memories, that time can erase The legacy we leave behind Is but a whisper, in the wind confined Dust to dust, a solemn truth A reminder to live life to the full, forsooth To cherish each moment, each day For we never know when it'll vanish away Dust to dust, the inevitable end A journey we must all transcend So, let us live each moment with zest For from dust we come, and to dust, we rest.
