Life changes in a heartbeat
The happiness fades to the sorrow
When life begins to fall out, just like my hair
When tears cascade like raging creeks
That’s when you realise, the next beat could be your last
When all the things you granted, seem such a big blessing
As you see the day rise and the night fall
You wonder if you will ever get back up
To see the world’s wonders
When time is limited and death seems inevitable
Is where one truly values the preciousness of life
For now, I wait, for the calling to heaven
For now, I am happy, happier than I have ever been
As I have with me, my Last Days
