Your time on earth is ticking away
so recall the fond memories of the past.
One cherishing moment, then another
for the years are fading fast.

Time knows not when to stop
and moves relentlessly thru every scene
from pleasantries to the edge of despair.
So, hope for a finality calm and serene.

Joseph T. Renaldi
