Death And Birth

As the light fades for one
A new beginning emerges for another
As the funeral music plays down the aisle
Tears and laughter come from the hospital
People grieving and faces full of solemn
Others playful and filled with joy
Most unable to overcome emotions
Others scarred for aeons to come
Many possessions are bestowed among
Others have a tough decision before their passing
A new beginning for one is the end for another
