My father kept on living until the end
And at the end an ambulance came
And he walked out his own door
Five days later the end came
My father was no more
He lost his spirit for a while
When his health broke down
Uncertain what happens next
On his face a frown
But life returned he found his way
Did what he could do
And in the comfort of his home
Enjoyed a quiet brew
Be dressed for action the good Lord says
Have lamps now burning bright
Every day worth living
Make sure you live it right

+ We are ‘servants of God’, all of us. It is a great thing to be and a great way to live life.
