What, Me Worry??
Some people are concerned
They wonder and they fear
Just how and when they'll die
The thought, it seems so *****
Not like we have a choice
And so I'll tell you why...
but it's only my own voice...
I've been dead before,
I'll be dead again,
The thought of fearing it
To me just seems inane
Whether it's nothingness after
Or to a heavenly place we go
The thought to me seems dafter
But I don't really claim to know
So I worry not about things to be
Of which I have no control
Just accept what's been doled to me
Peace is my only goal
So I thank Alfred E. Newman
On each cover of Mad magazine
He gave me this great title
Such wisdom is rarely seen...
So sleep in peace my friends out there
It's all in God's great hand
Life and death two sides of the same coin
I hope you understand
And now I've said my piece
So off to bed I go
Is sleep a bit like death?
That I'd like to know
Cause sleep is my favorite time
No pain, no worries, no cares..
Someday we'll all find out
At that time when God shares
What some consider the ultimate mystery
The big answer that they seek
Go to sleep this evening
May God give you a peek!
