From The Cares Of Living

From the cares of living death does bring release
Which perhaps gives rise to the saying may she or he rest in peace
It is the ego in us that does fear death
That wills us on to fight for our last living breath
Though it is part of life and a natural thing
Of the praises of death you will not hear many sing
Though their physical best years to time has long gone
Most of those past their century of living do want to live on
A decade of years in our physical prime
And eventually we all become victims of time
As the words of the song go and it is not a lie
The longer you live the sooner you will die
The Reaper of lives keeps on reaping away
For all of us there is this last night and day.
