The Shift

by Lea Tonin1

intrepid young so we were

youth did not require a cure
No thoughts we gave beyond today
Our only interests fun and play
 
Mortality did not occur
Minds of young need not endure
Adulthood comes roaring In
the parent job soon will win
 
Children grow mid life collides
Too soon around us friends will die.
sense of time rolling out
Comes quick and swift there is no doubt.
 
White of hair wrinkled skin
fear of death factors in
hospital bed a woman dies 
comes back to life a minute and five
 
Certain knowledge of life beyond
a gift was given she must go on
tell the tale of true belief 
her badge of age a real relief 
 
Reward for life are our deaths
cry not for us our final breath
home we'll go our souls are free
back to our true family.
 
see u there.......
