Our Time to Go

Unless one chooses suicide

We never really know

The place or day or circumstance

When it’s our time to go.

 

The long-time sick have some idea

But even then they might

Hang on much longer if somehow

They don’t give up the fight.

 

The saying goes to live each day

Like it might be our last

And face the future loosened from

The burdens of the past.

 

But in this time of Covid

With the virus uncontrolled,

So many planned adventures

Have been sadly put on hold.

 

Decisions going forward

With our lives should keep in mind

That we haven’t got a clue about

When we’ll be left behind.
