Ashes to Ashes

     I wrote this the night our dog Eclipse was run over.

"Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
Bad things happen, don't know why, but they must
People move, or maybe they pass away
I don't know what to do, but all I can say is....

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
It's not good, but sometimes they must
From the dust you came and to the dirt you shall return
It's something that we all need to learn

Humans - just dirt and God's breath
We'll be back to dirt in our deaths
Cause we're....

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
I imagine that's all right and just
Grandma, your dogs, or even a guinea pig
(Or even more, if your family's kind of big)
You'll find out that it's true
And, oh yeah, someday it'll apply to you, too

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
Sooner or later this life's gonna go bust
We can try to fight it but we will be someday..."
