So you see, it all will end,
Sister, teacher, love, or friend.
Someday, we will all pass on
It won't matter what is gone.
Someday, even sun will die.
Everyone must say goodbye.
In the end, it's all for naught
As all will someday be forgot.
Shadows, light and misery
Death within each family tree.
People come, and people go
Some leave quickly, others slow.
Every change brings death, of kind
Death of friendship, death of mind.
Even sorrow dies, one day
When our joy moves in to stay.
Words like tears fall on the page
In the spotlight, center stage.
Everyone hides their true face
Searching for a better place.
Sorrow is a part of life,
Everyone will know some strife.
But if you keep an open heart,
Happiness will not depart.
Grow a garden of your past
Keep it safe, and it will last.
Plant new seeds when they arrive,
And your wholeness will survive.
