The Future is Apparent

Tomorrow has come to stay

and my hair is turning to gray.

I remember when that was

except it passes, like time does.

There must have been a minute

when it had the future in it.

With past and memory lost

I do know how much it has cost.

Time has come to pay the price,

and the present seems very nice.

Shortly i will have to die,

but i have been a lucky guy.

I’ve had more laughter than tears.

I can laugh at death it appears.
