Have To Die
Have To Die
While the world went spinning by
I wondered why the sky stayed dry
Help environment out, we all should try
Even if turning tides may be low or high.
Whole world is in disarray everyday;
Stars shine brightly in a brilliant display;
Heartache has brought on much dismay;
Sun still comes up and will go away.
Will worry when we have a storm warning,
All flowers with beauty are always adorning;
My coffee is ready for me each morning;
Contemptible people still keep scorning.
Skilled writers prepare poems and an anecdote;
Time to our true God we do daily devote;
When you sing poorly, we grab our throat
And if cold outside, we put on warm coat.
A bright butterfly will go flittering by;
We had to water grass when it was dry;
If food is needed, gracious God will supply,
Yet, eventually one day, still have to die.
