ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

Why must there be such a major fuss

Conception, parturition, life with an optional rebirth, quietus

Some consider it "Survival of the fittest"

While others believe it to be predestined with numbered days

Another may protest and favor another theory

But let's face the facts 

All that we are will eventually cease

No more complaining and no more grief 

From the depths of our souls and the tip of the tongue that pierce through our lips

No more broken promises, lies, nor heartache

No more divorces, unnecessary forces, nor lack in resources 

Fearless and whole for the protected soul

Ashes to ashes 

Dust to dust

Legacy, the best of thee, to leave behind

In wealth, property, ideas, mindsets, wisdom, approaches, and/or love

Leaving behind your essence in place of your presence 

How will you be remembered?

Will you be thought of as wise after a year of departure or foolish with a life unfulfilled?

Did you touch lives in a positive manner or were you crowned with negativity?

No matter where you are or what you've done, you've been granted the power to choose how and when to act and react

Live, prosper, give of yourself, and love

It all starts with you

Whether it is the "Survival of the fittest", numbered days, or other ideologies that are responsible for our demise

One thing is certain, we never know the exact date, time, and second that our lives will eventually come to an end

Conception, parturition, life with an optional rebirth, quietus

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust
