What Then?

When the party's over
And everyone has gone,
The fun and frolic finished
And you are left alone-
What then?

When the show is over
And the final curtain falls,
With the last bows and the encores
Before an eerie silance calls.
What then?

When the wedding's over
The guests have taken leave,
The cards abd gifts are opened
And you are left to cleave!
What then?

When the battle's over
The conflict fought and won,
But the chaos and the aftermath
Is left to carry on.
What then?

When your life is over
It's all been said and done,
You face your final moment
And you know the call has come.
What then?
