Mortality Is For All

Mortality surely not based on a lie I too like all mortals was born to die I feel i am no different to the cow, dog or sheep Like them for me there will be a final sleep How many more Springs will i live for to see Since the passing of time it is telling on me Some i went to school with in a town far away Among the deceased in their final rest lay Though it is going back some three decades in time It does not seem that long since i was in my life's prime The Seasons pass quickly and time ticks away And each dawn brings us nearer to our last night and day We return to Nature as do the leaves of the Fall Like the cow, dog or the sheep mortality is for all.
