He doesn't feel the gentleness of death
As it slows his breath, his heartbeat
Of destination he is oblivious
As he takes steps to his plot in a graveyard
He smiles as though life is never ending
Lives through each day dreaming of eternity
A firm believer in forever
He doesn't know his story is soon ending
Death though forgets not a single man
To have ever been born
He smiles with the baby, moments ago born
Tells him with life, also comes death
The baby forgets Death's words as he grows older
And so doesn't believe he will soon be dust and ashes
In denial he lives of the dark, dead future
And so Death takes him by surprise always
