I am the messenger from the gods

I’m here to give a life

And to take one away!

I will first take the old one

He has seen many decades of life

Now it’s time to reunite, with his loved ones from above

His wife and children are all gone

He welcomes his passing,

He’s all alone,

Wants to go home

Let him touch the sky

Make friends with the angels

I am the messenger of the gods

I must move on to someone else

I took a life, now I must give life

To newborn baby girl!

7 lbs. 7 oz. that’s what the hospital says

A healthy little baby girl

She could be anything she wants in life

a mother, a wife

Or maybe The President!

Only she can decide her future

Breathing air in her lungs

for the first time!

What a wonderful future she will have

The joy she will bring, many decades she will live,

Her life has just begun!

Decades from now, I will be back

To take her away when she’s old and gray!

Will come on a cold and snowy night

I give life and I take it away!

It’s the circle of life

The messenger of the gods

made it this way!
