We Too Shall Pass Away

How quickly time is passing!

The seasons come and go.

The summer with its sunshine

The winter with its snow

The springtime with its fragrance

Of bursting bud and bloom,

The short cool days of autumn

All seem to pass too soon!

Our neighbours, friends and loved ones

Their ranks are thinning out,

So many we find missing

Each time we look about.

We, too, are rushing onward,

Our days will soon be o'er,

Our places soon be vacant,

Our voices heard no more.

Will any heart be lighter

Because we've journeyed here?

Oh, are we truly trying

To scatter love and cheer?

To make the way seem brighter

To those we meet each day?

For, like the fleeting season,

We, too, shall pass away!
