Here Today Gone Tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

How often that I’ve remarked

And blow me down here I am

Upon a life of death, I’ve embarked

Where this journey will take me

If it takes me anywhere at all

But sadly, my friends and family

This occasion upon you does befall

Please try not to be too forlorn or teary

As I presume this you will be

As much as I appreciate your sadness

Surely on this we agree

We’ve had our lives together and done our best to impart

Our joy and our fondness for each other and the love we felt in our heart

Yes, we’ll miss those days together but time will heal you’ll see

As difficult as it will be for you, I’d rather be you than me.

So, cherish all those memories and your images of the past

And that will help my parting and the extent your pain will last.

Get on with living, be good, be kind, value your days ahead

For tomorrow’s around the corner and like me, one day you’ll be………….
