Song information
A reflective song I wrote during Covid days. I probably meant what I wrote. Picture here shows The Kaverleys when we were teenagers. Well, I have added three more years to my end! Not sure how many more! Mobid, am I?

Lyrics
Near the End
© Stan Loh November 28, 2021
Verse 1
Reaching a junction wondering where to go,
Confusion plays a funny roadshow,
Now my thread gets thinner, just like a little strand,
Not many summers more to the end,
My life is like a candle timed to flame out,
It’s lonely inside killing a doubt,
Wondering if I’ll ever get too slow,
Embarrassing kin by making a show … 
When I die …
Bridge
Nothing … nothing can move the end,
Oh nothing …nothing can extend,
No amount of money can close the gate,
Once it’s open your name’s on the plate,
Verse 2
If your number’s called you just have to go,
Fighting and thrashing can’t change the code,
I’m prepared to follow suit if it is the plan, 
My body tells me I’m near the end.

Man you've been at this a LONG time my friend! I wrote a couple tunes back in 1970 and 1972, then nothing till 2005 or thereabouts. Didn't realize that you and Kaverly went that far back!
I have a soft spot for songs about human mortality, so I really appreciate this one.

Great song Stan. A rebinder to us all that every day counts and that we must get the best out of life every day. Every little tiny positive thing in the every day is worth appreciating. And the negative things are not worth the effort
