And now I have to say goodbye to another grandmother
Time has a way of taking people from us when we least expect it.
It reaps its rewards from those who are weak,
Ill and in bed, barely able to stand,
This is my grandmother and so I shall say
a goodbye to her that has long been expected.
Knowing it makes it no easier,
death isn't something that we should play with,
'cause its rare that you or I can choose,
to delay the ticking of our clocks.
Soon they will stop, our clocks
that go ticking and beat within all
of our chests, that control our life,
they, like my grandmother's will stop.
Tomorrow I have a couple important calls to make, it probably wont be a very fun day.
