Time.

It is time to begin the separation
Of body from soul, said the Voice.
Must we, replied the soul?
There is much left to do.

It is not given to you too choose,
The moment of separation is long ordained
And even now the sands of time
Are running low.

So be it, replied the soul,
Have you any advice to give?

Enjoy each moment left to you,
Love all in your life,
Especially those closest to you,
Bear no one ill will,
And most of all, fear not,
For I will be with you,
Always and ever.
