A Fish or a Bat?
By sheppard
27 October 2005

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ME TO GO

WHERE I AM GOING, I DO NOT KNOW

SOME SAY I'M CRAZY, SOME SAY I'M MAD,

BUT I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE, FOR THAT I'M GLAD.

 

MY BAGS ARE PACKED, MY HOUSE IS SOLD,

THE POWER IS GONE, MY HEART HAS GONE COLD,

I LOOK AROUND AND THINK OF THE PAST

A NEW DAY HAS DAWNED, FREEDOM AT LAST.

 

I'LL LEAVE A FEW MEMORYS BUT TAKE THE BEST,

NOW I AM SLEEPING FORGET THE REST,

WILL I RETURN AS A FISH OR A BAT

MAYBE I'LL COME BACK AS A FAMILY CAT.

 

WHATEVER I'VE DONE ITS BEEN AN ADVENTURE

SO NOW I'M OF FOR A BRAND NEW VENTURE

SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME PASSING BY

THEY SAY ITS HEAVEN, I'M OFF TO THE SKY!

Life is only starting. Hang in there things might yet get interesting and worth the wait.

Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I was watching a film, and this came to me. Bit morbid I know, but on the other hand I suppose its a positive look at going.

I liked this. Before my sister died of cancer a few years ago, she talked about dying as her big adventure. And my half sister when she is drunk says she thinks their cat is the reincarnation of her grandmother. Who knows.
