This Life Journey

This life journey we are on does have an ending For all of us a final night and day It may end for you in the place you were born and raised in Or from there hundreds if not thousands of miles away And whether you believe in a God and an afterlife or you are an atheist To the Reaper of lives this does not matter at all He does not differentiate between rich and poor and saint and sinner To his sharp scythe everyone eventually does fall. Along life's journey you will find joy and laughter As well as sorrow hardship and despair As we know everyone is not born as an equal Though we all are born to breathe in the same air. Our journey through life for us will end somewhere It must end for him and her and you and me And lets hope the journey for you will end happy Where-ever or whenever that will be.
