The Bell That Rang For Him Today

In life we all have our own dreams that we choose to pursue
And he had his dreams like everyone though none off his dreams for him came true
And he had his needs like everyone though compared to most his needs were small
The bell that rang for him today will one day ring for us all
Though he never did father children or he never had a wife
He had his moods like everyone and his many an up and down in life
But he did grow old gracefully his hair was silver gray
He did not try to hide the years that bring physical decay
Though religious and moral in his ways some thought of him as quite strange
Conservative in his thinking one who did not like change
And it never could be said of him that he liked the stuff of cheer
Since he never tasted alcohol not even a light beer
He believed on eternal happiness for his good soul so death he did not fear
And the bell that rang for him today was one he did not hear.
