No One Offend and Reached His End

his twilight was near
Henry is no longer here
we always did fear

no one did offend
to heaven we had to send
when he reached an end

merry with much mirth
he was merry with much mirth 
departed this earth

away soul scurried
when around he had hurried
body we buried

always was well fed
no longer here and is dead
he has gone to bed

what we must admit
no longer in bed does sit
his heart would quit

Lovely haiku, James. Don't forget that without the end there's no reason to begin!
