Birth of a death
Lying in a hospital bed
Tubes running every which way
One final relieved sigh
Its time to say goodbye
Though this one has a smile
For they are ready to go
There life’s purpose has been fulfilled
And of this they do know
Soon enough they can fly
And earn their reward
Soon enough their time will have been spent
And they will see the lord
Soon enough the time will come
For them to make a space
For a new one to come on in
A new cute little face
They may be making room for a genius
Or just a hard worker
Maybe the one to replace them
Will be the second coming of him
So with a smile still
They bid farewell
To everything and all they have known
And not its time to be next in line
It is the birth of a death
