The Journey In Life

The journey in life for no two seems the same
One destined for poverty one for wealth and fame
But it is a journey that ends for all one day
The Reaper of lives on our lives has the final say

It is a fact of life we are born to die
The same for the billionaire as you and  i
In common mortality we all do share
The Reaper of lives any life does not spare

Three score and ten years the average human life span
A few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Eventually we all become victims of time
And we seem to age quickly beyond our life's prime

We are born as mortals why otherwise pretend
Our journey in life for us does have an end
And whether our remains are buried entire or to ashes do burn
Of Nature we are and to her we will return.
