For all of us a last sunset like for all of us there was a first sunrise <br />A saying that's been around for years that came from someone wise <br />And every sunset that we see is one nearer to our last <br />Our biological clocks are ticking on and ticking ever fast <br />This evening the sun like a huge red ball set behind the western hill <br />And how many more sunsets for me since time does not stand still <br />I watched it disappear from view where it set the sky was red <br />A weather sign in the twilight sky of warmer days ahead <br />For all of us a last sunset so very very true <br />No matter what we achieve in life death it will be our due <br />Even for the greats of human history there was a last sunset <br />Though they live on in memory since them we don't forget <br />For all of us a last sunset the facts do never lie <br />Since like every other form of life we too are born to die.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-all-of-us-a-last-sunset/
