Begin the Benign

Another Year?

Oh dear, oh dear,

The last one came,

To put me near,

Another end,

I fear, I fear,

But most I find,

In all that is,

If it's life you like,

Then it's part the biz'.



And please rememb',

That if near the end,

That it's best to be,

Your faith my friend,

For your faith will lift,

Your soul to fly,

Beyond the hurt,

And beyond the crime.



And I do not preach,

Of religous belief,

For it is your own,

That brings relief,

For all books read,

And all stories told,

It is faith in yourself,

That helps grow old.

Love the rhythm in this piece. It makes for a very enjoyable read.
The philosophy & advice chosen here is a wise one indeed.
I will keep it in mind when the time comes, hopefully not for at least another 50 years.
