We All Get To Go Home

As I read the paper It seems like everyday Someone else that I know I read about them passing away Each time I read an obituary It once again reminds me How precious life really is I think of my own mortality Some deaths take us by surprise While some others do not That doesn't mean their living and dying Was all for naught It's just that some people Are in bad health and sick As the clock of life for them Each day loses another tick No matter who they are All will be missed Hopefully they were able To live the life they wished Some will die disappointed Some will die all alone The only common denominator Is in the end we all go home 1-3-09/RJH
