It surprises me to a great extent
When I have queried where my lifetime went
And cannot seem to remember the space
That last I was or the name of the place.
As I grow older I will not recall
So much of the sadness that did befall
In a journey long full of tears and joys
It’s the happiness that my mind employs
And the peaceful times we were not alone
Those we shared with God in the great unknown
Knowing the ending’s the same for us all
As we clap our hands at the curtains fall !
