Time's Up

in a moment a life is gone

and tears water the grass

but the body within that casket

does not smell the flowers;

see the colors; hear the crying

of those who mourn

in an instant they were taken away

"I should have stayed with them"

but the time is come to say

goodbye

for in life you pay the price

for in the end we all will die

and drift slowly away

none are death proof .......
