A Lifetime in 12 Blinks

We blink once were in Pre-K
We blink twice 21st birthday
Third time marriage & career
Fourth time parents die, shed a tear
Fifth your at the age to retire
Sixth your ailing, always so tired
Seventh your spouse dies, sadness is deep
Eighth you live alone, hope to die in your sleep
Ninth you have visions of insanity
Tenth you curse your god with profanity
Eleventh remaining family surround your bed
Twelfth one last deep breath, now you are dead

When the Grim Reaper comes for all of us,
think of it as going to sleep after a long trying day.
