I am truly sorry to say
Today...
Today is the day
Today is your last
But be proud of your past
Be thankful for the time
Be thankful for this life
I know you are worried
You haven't lived right
But don't be discouraged

To some
The things that you've done
They may have seemed wrong
For others, they saw them as right
But don't be discouraged
You can't please them all
We all
Have our rises and falls

Today...
Today is the day
You will fall no longer

Today is the day
You will no longer see hardship
You will no longer feel pain
The world around you
Will drift away

Today is the day
You meet your demise
But please realize
Today
Could have come sooner
Instead,
It's today
Today is just another day.
Like all those before it
Like those that may have come after
Nothing different
Nothing changed
But today

Today is the day
Life flashing before your eyes
Vivid visions
Marbled memories
And colorful recollections
Fading to gray

What lies ahead for you
I cannot say

But maybe this life...

In its entirety...

Is just another day

Falling asleep

Drifting in darkness

Until we awake
