Memento Mori
A phrase that really sticks with me
It plays in my head over and over
Sometimes I wish that I could hear it somber
Memento Mori
It reminds me how everyone sees me
The good and the bad. The happy and sad
I always wonder if their words are true
Memento Mori
The phrase that reminds us that death is coming
That the ones I love might leave before me
Sometimes the thought makes me always look forward
Memento Mori
This phrase is one of death
One of life and one of the best
Some say they don't like it and wait in fear
I want to welcome it's whisper in my ear
So when it creeps up on you and those you care for leave
Just remember that they have really just planted a seed
One that will grow into a tree
It will hold all the memories for all to see
It keeps getting closer and closer
And when it reaches just make sure to remember
Memento Mori, Memento Mori
