End of Life - 2012
Senior citizen wakes up
Looks in the mirror
What's happened here?
Time has caught up
The end could be near
Nothing to calm the pending fear
So much left to do
A feeling of dread
So much left unsaid
Must be a dream
This can't be right
Visions of Heaven's eternal light
Here the children
Their beautiful laughter
Wonder what comes after
Memories of life come rushing back
Like a sideshow; a play
Wishing for one more day
Too bad the young don't know
It's all fun; They don't care
Life happens; not always fair
Twilight is here; No more time
Fading out like the setting sun
No matter our plans, our life is done
