No euphemism can console me
‘cos the reality of existence is laid bare;
that every being shall become,
and thus you have come and gone
...
Eternal praise I give
To the architect and builder
All of my being
The hope of years to come
...
The world without and our hearts within
Great determinants of our becoming
Both come with choices
Ours to make
...
Other enticements are fleeting
O! What more do I need?
While He is ever enduring.
