Mortality

As the September of my days befall me it crosses my mind soon my Autumn shall pass and Winter beckons me Are you prepared dear mortal to accept death face it, can you look death in the eye and smile The Greenland shark can live to five hundred years mysterious creatures of the seas I catch myself remembering the birth of Spring it fades softly and slips away My Summer years full, brass and young too much fun for life is endless in youth. Now body worn, showing time with aches and pains everything falling apart held together by medical wonders Family and friends fade from life one by one and you always get that senior citizen discount automatically now When you outlive your pet Macaw you know time is escaping faith important again, finding renew meaning is frost ensues A false belief of immortality only a child's heart can see in the eternal youth of Spring. Winter approaches Do you prepare everything for others to ease their life when you are gone or do nothing for it is easier than facing Mortality.
