There is a Path

There is a path,
I walk at night.
It's dark and muted,
not much light.

Where will
this path I take.
lead me on,
for goodness' sake.

No one will explain
this to me.
I expect it will soon
be my path to eternity.

No longer will I hear
the sweet hello,
from my friends.
Ah well, you'll know.

I won't be there
to greet you then,
please remember me,
your oldest friend
