Extinct
One day we will all be extinct. Our lives will be gone in just one blink. The time we spent upon Mother Earth, will now make room for a new birth. The clothes that we bought and the shoes that we wore will not have a place here for us anymore. We will not be needing our daily bread or a place to lay our weary head. Extinct— I am sure we will all be one day for the will come when we must go away. Now as the time winds down and the hour draws near, I know my Savor and I shall not fear.
