In the End

The sinners they sin and the believers they pray But in the end we all die anyway Some are cremated and put in an urn Hotter than hell the bodies they burn Others are wrapped and cast off a boat Fishermans' blessing to carry them home Some are fixed in poles up high Cast ablaze with possessions spirits ary Egyptians are wrapped in cloth and honey Cats and dogs they had gold and their money One way is not better than others All born the same the womb of our mothers

between two breaths, first and last....that's all we are promised, and it goes by fast....what I do with mine may not be the same for you....that's why we are both special, the heart is forever true....;)

A superb piece Kelli... ashes to ashes, and dust to dust ~ Genesis 3:19 KJV. from the womb we all end up the same way. Well done! Keith

I probably shouldn't have quoted the bible... I never do that as a rule but when I googled 'ashes to ashes,' part of the discussion involved mention of Genesis. I'm sorry if I offended you... with religion one can't be too careful. Keith
