Until Then
The years have worn my body down:
and soon, I'll breathe my final breath.
Life has left me tired and rundown,
and yet, I'm not afraid of Death:
though, I'll meet my end with a frown.
Lately, time has been running fast:
and my bones are getting fragile.
So many of my friends have passed
I thank God that I'm still agile:
though I don't expect that to last.
Fate has not been overly kind:
yet, overall, life has been good.
With a positive frame of mind;
Life feels real, not Hollywood:
I'll regret leaving it behind.
I will miss humanity's grace
and the unique sound of laughter.
Memories my death will erase,
can't join me in the hereafter:
but till then, they're mine to embrace.
