Not-Too-Distant Future
Could it be over yet
Could it be that I forget
Just how far along I'd come
Seems like the beginning has just begun
Look back in retrospect
I see now how I spent
All I had my numbered days
In grey twilight they'll fade away
What will be left of me
Is there some legacy
I leave behind my earthly toil
By shuffling off this mortal coil
And life will still go on
Long after I am gone
Words to live by for the living
Do what you can with the time you're given
The future lay ahead
While I am lying dead
Life wanes and cannot last
All my futures now have passed
