Nothing is Immortal
I am growing old
My mind ever so young
Leaving behind tragedy
Abandoned hope
Everything has no scope
In your eyes I wither
Life is an uncertain journey
Yesterday was his birth day
Celebrated with laughter and joy
Tonight I weep for his departed soul
Once born, death is so sure
Today we can prepare for tomorrow
Tomorrow is only the sad sigh of getting old
Happiness is rare
Truth of life is only sorrow
Our mind runs through unrest desire
Wealth is the only thing we curve for
We wish for more and more
Once death approaches
Wealth is all about a shadow
Morrow never ends, today can’t hold
More wealth is the causes of all suffering
Every man desire to love long
But no man wishes to become old
Live like a man
Let’s die like a man
Nobody can fill the void of death
Nothing can stop when death approaches
Beware! Hell is heavy
Heaven is lighter.
