Life is a mystery.

To you and me

Reality should kick in.

Death is always with us.

There are those

who died

yesterday night.

They were ready for today.

Some people are dying right now.

They were hoping for later today.

They all had future plans.

They all had wishes.

Everything changed.

In a brief second.

Time moved,

Their time has come.

They had to leave.

It was their turn to die.

It was time for them to leave us.

A reminder for you and me.

We'll both perish.

Anytime, anywhere.

In anyway

Only God knows when and how.

But he'll take us.

Everything can change.

In a brief second.

Never take life for granted.

Therefore, be kind.

Enjoy frequently.

Have a good life.

Everything can change.

In a brief second.
