Our Memories Will Die With Us Poem by Francis Duggan

Our memories will die with us when life from us has gone
And though some may remember us life as usual will go on
This is how it is and it was and how it will always be
The one who swings the scythe of death is greater far than you or me
Whatever our achievements are it is only true to say
The journey of life we are on will end for us one day
We are mere mortals after all and mortals are born to die
And of this supposed life post bodily death ask one other than i
We all do have our own beliefs many believe in a god in the sky
To whose paradise post bodily death their souls to with wings will fly
As for me this is a mystery something of the unknown
But there is some truth in the saying of to each their own
Our memories will die with us like all in the forever gone
And though some may remember us life as usual will go on.
