Cemetery Bound Company

Child came to me and she asked why

Everyone working at this company was destine to die

Mesmerized by this, I didn’t know what to say

Elementary little child thinking this way

There is darkness she said, that surrounds this company

Encamp around them, controlling their destiny

Regrets they announce, yet another had died

You can’t imagine the regularity to this little child

But why didn’t I think of it

Or did my hearing become as habit

Unable still to reply, I told my young friend

No life is eternal on earth, we must all meet our end

Death though seemingly regular at this place

Comes to others less popular with similar pace

Only because we know them with such familiarity

Mortality shouts louder from this company

People who die and live upright

Are able see Jesus that very night

No darkness can overcome the righteous at heart

You mustn’t be overly concern by the many who depart
