Final Sleep

Twists and turns
The hands of Fate
Plot your course
And set your dates

Just watch and see
How it comes in part
To skew your mind
Or break your heart

Plan for the worst
And hope for the best
Eat right and exercise
Get plenty of rest

Squirrel money away
In a box or a bank
You'll need it for emergencies
Then yourself you will thank

Do all you can
To make things right
Care for all people
Not just those in sight

Be the person you want
Others to become
When you close your eyes
Your work will be done

For the Final Sleep, friends
Comes to us all
You had best have lived right
When to account you are called
