Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

It is a tragic fact I face-
When contemplating time.
That it took all our dreams and hopes-
And left regrets behind.

It took the youthful vigor, friend-
Left weariness and dread-
And morbid contemplation of-
The fact I’ll soon be dead.

Do I fear death? Why! Not at all-
It should be plain to see-
Mortality is not my foe-
The wait is killing me.
