Now I Lay Me

people die everyday.

why nobody can say.

it is just that way.

no matter what,

dying

might

delay

but it will come to us all one day.

we can not even say "nay'.

we can not ask for a replay.

we have to die

there is just no other way.

we will all have to go away.

we can only hope to keep it at bay.

so we pray when

down we lay.
