Reality (In Memory Of My Loving Grandfather)

It’s something we can’t change,
Something we know will happen one day,
But not all of us are ready,
We don’t know what to do.

Some of us just aren’t prepared,
Prepared to deal with reality,
Why can’t thing be different?
Life just isn’t fair at times.

It’s the chance that some people would want to have,
But when faced with it,
They just don’t know what to say,
How do some people do it?

When we do get that chance,
What do we say?
No words can describe that feeling,
So how do some people say it?

Say, goodbye.
