I'm Almost Certain I Will Die

 
I'm almost certain I will die  
In a thunderstorm from the sky.  
It will be my finest hour,  
Oh, don't do that, look so dour.  
 
I will have lived large in my time,  
So, it's okay, church bells can chime,  
Though I'm not a religious man,  
But the Golden Rule I'm a fan.  
 
It's what we do before we go  
That gives us gladness, maybe woe.  
Some will say, why'd it take so long  
Others will sob o'er my bones.  
 
What can I say, what can I do?  
Maybe they're right, I'm overdue.  
I do know for a natural fact,  
I lived my life, not in abstract.  
 
Have I really given my best?  
No, not me, I've lived life in jest.  
We're all given our DNA's,  
It pulls and prods like we're its prey  
 
I'm almost certain I will die  
In a thunderstorm from the sky.  
It will be my finest hour,  
Oh, don't do that, look so dour
