A living being i was one day

A living being I was one day

A living being I was one day, till the next, when time stood still
Everything thereafter sort of changed so to speak, clearly when things went somewhat a little,
‘downhill.'
I could show regret, try to console myself, by this rather unexpected event
But there's no turning back, it is what it is, and was something I could hardly prevent.
So, here we are, all of us, no necessarily knowing each other
Let’s hope it’s sometime before we are here again attending the departure of another.
I’ve gone and as much as we may be in sorrow, tearful, mourning as we do
Let’s rejoice at the life I was gifted with, as we all are, including you
A living being I was one day, memories I leave behind
From hereon in it’s a one-way ticket, well, to either heaven or earth I’m consigned
To Family, friends and comrades, my dearest, nearest and all
Farewell, goodbye and all of that, my destiny doth befall.
