We All Must Go

We Know Not The Time or Hour

Death comes for us young or old

My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock

Race isn't a factor, with death, it doesn't matter. No one escapes the inevitable plot; the day will come and that you can’t stop. We all must go no need to think; away from this fact, you cannot get

There is no set time or date, nor is there a certain place; a final fate we all must face. Say I love you today, tomorrow not guaranteed. If the chance passes, you’ll regret it. In that, you can believe. It’ll be too late after their passing. Life is short-lived, but death is everlasting

Every breath of life is a blessing, with the problems of the world; no need in stressing. Live vigorously take advantage, never take a single moment for granted.

To those I have lost, I loved you with all my heart. I'll get through the pain and the sorrow, but I'd be lying If I say; more time I wouldn't borrow. Life without you has been dark, saying goodbye was the hardest part

In my heart, the love stays strong. In my memories, you live on. It’s easier to cope saying you've served your purpose. A job well done; I hope you heard me

When or how we'll go is uncertain. Life is over with the close of the curtain. An end must come to every story, there's no choice, it's mandatory. There'll be nothing left to see, nothing more to show. When time ends, we all must go

It doesn't matter the season, no specific reason. This isn't a game, there won't be any cheating. It's a hard truth to have to swallow, but when one leaves another will follow. A cruel trick, this I know; but the fact is we all must go

I Really Hope You Enjoyed What You Read
