Earth To Earth, Dust To Dust
Earth to earth, dust to dust,
Shall all flesh someday return.
Soul to its own, body to the crust,
Shall one day every man his turn.
The duration of life is so short
That it may not last the next mile
For it could in a single report
Rob a life of its precious smile.
That is why no one should boast
Of what is yet to be tomorrow;
Even all that seem of surety most,
Could any moment be a sorrow.
Life on earth is never forever;
One can only wish but it'd never!
