 The Final Words© Tony Fallon 072318   

I'm certain before they die there is a song from all the birds
So it would only be fair from us too if there could be words
What most of people's last words are surely is a mystery
At such a stressful time who could be thinking of history

Some may regret their distasteful actions that caused others strife
Or telling where they have hidden money to the little wife
Some may be asking forgiveness for their many sinful ways
Some may still be begging God to give them just a few more days

No matter how long we live we need to fix up our affairs
And remind the wife and children to offer up some prayers
We all want to be in the good book with heavens personnel
Because eternity is a long time to have to spend in hell

Some will also want to discuss fancy mass cards and flowers
And on the final day if there will be sunshine or showers

Others will be giving instructions for that one last journey

And giving advice so the coffin won't fall off the gurney

  It's been so many years now since we said our loving goodbyes
I really hope there is a heaven up in those blue skies
On the day I depart I hope there is a partial eclipse
And up in heaven you will clearly hear your name on my lips
