Life and Death

The world maybe bitter and dull, 
to some without a meaning, 
bright the eye of heaven shall shine on a day with no complaining.

Hope does fade away sometimes 
on days that are restraining, 
and blessed our lives can be, 
content without refraining.

Life can be difficult sometimes 
when ground you’re hardly gaining, 
but if you walk a righteous path 
good deeds you are attaining.

Prominent you may be, 
in a life you are sustaining, 
but no pedigree shall save your soul 
in a world where all are waning.

In time of death we shall not brag 
of deeds that are beshaming, 
equal we are when deceased 
in a world of no explaining, 
no mortal soul will hear your call from the grave if you are complaining.
