The Last Journey
The last journey
Is when you shall depart
Not to an exotic island
For a holiday
Neither to a mountain
For a treck
That day when you depart
The last journey
Is when you shall depart
Not with your spouse
Or Children
Not on a trip
To visit beloved parents
That day when you depart
The last journey
Is when you shall depart
Not in a suit and suitcases
Not in your golden bracelets
And necklaces
That day when you depart
The last journey
When you depart
Not in a plane
Not in a limousine
With aides
That day when you depart
The last journey
You will be driven, not driving
You will be leaving, not returning
They will be crying, not laughing
That day when you depart
