It's so nice here.
It's so very warm.
You know that here,
You'll come to no harm.
It's time to go.
Through the tunnel
towards the light.
Towards the light,
that's shining bright.
It's time to go.
When you pop out,
you start breathing air.
Then you see
your new mommy there.
It's time to go.
She takes you home,
you learn to walk.
Soon thereafter,
you learn to talk.
It's time to go.
When you turn five,
it's time for school.
Where they teach you
the golden rule.
It's time to go.
After twelve years,
it's time to graduate.
Then off in the world
to make your fate.
It's time to go.
Then by chance,
on a blind date.
You met the one,
who'll be your mate.
It's time to go.
You had a great wedding,
it was so grand.
Now you wear a ring,
on your left hand.
It's time to go.
You rush to the hospital.
You're having a child.
When he is born,
everyone is all smiles.
It's time to go.
Before you know it
your child is grown.
He's having a baby
of his own.
It's time to go.
Being a grandparent
is really a blast.
But like all good things
it doesn't last.
It's time to go.
You're feeling feeble now
unable to walk.
Sometimes it's difficult
just to talk.
It's time to go.
Today you died.
Your family is blue.
But there are no tears
because you all knew
It's time to go.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
