Days pass by,

My life is soon to come

To an end,

So in my room I sit,

Counting as each second

Passes by.

My time here on Earth is

Fleeting,

Though the rest of the world remains

Unchanging.

Lives may end

But the world keeps spinning,

Day after day,

Life after life.

Keep on spinning,

Moving forward even after

I’m gone,

Because

Dawn still rises,

Slowly,

Stubbornly.
