The Afterlife

The Afterlife is here too soon

Even with a long life, time isn’t enough

Youth fades, age arrives. Hair grays

and bones crack

If you’re lucky

Some are taken too soon

Here minute, gone the next

On a normal day, life can disappear without warning

Cherish every minute

Aging isn’t cringe

Aging is a gift

Creaking bones are the price paid

its a price worth the cost

There is no formula

No amount of money

No special spell that can hold off the reaper

He comes for us all eventually

How did you live?

How will you be remembered?

Will you be missed?

Or will your death be celebrated?

Maybe you don’t care

Until you’re alone on your deathbed

Live life to the fullest

Empathy isn’t toxic, but the seed of love

Without sowing it, none will come back to you

In sickness or death

The afterlife will be the least of your worries

while suffering alone

lift others up

live a good life today

The Afterlife will always be there

Cold and waiting as your memory fades

Living on in those lives you touched, or harmed

there is still time
