One Pair Of Pants To Wear

I had one pair of pants to wear

And they became so worn

That as the pair began to tear

They ended up quite torn.

That is a general rule of dress,

For pants that you put on

Begin as more and end as less

Until your pants are gone.

While even as I should outlast

The clothing which I had

The clothing off of me I’ll cast

Is that in which I’m clad.

My body outlasts what I wore

And it’s the way with me,

For when my body is no more

My soul will still there be.
