We will see what's going to be
Ultimately
She/he had always said, "Whatever will be will be"
What she/he meant was, "Ultimately"
When she/he lost her/his job, she took in sewing/he did mowing work
But she/he thought this, too, shall pass
What she/he meant was, "Ultimately"
When the house burned down
Ultimately
When the car was wrecked
Ultimately
Through the years of her/his joys and tears
She/he always rested on, "Ultimately"
One day, when asked just what that meant to her/him
"Ultimately"
She/he replied that all of the in's and out's of her/his life as a sheep
Rested in the hands of the Shepherd
He put her/him in the sheepfold
Or took her/him for a foraging stroll
Lion nor bear nor anything else dared bother long
Because she/he was a part of the blessed throng
...And she/he lived her/his life with that assurance in mind
Until they came to chat with her/him only to find...
That she/he had at long last reached "Ultimately."
Then, you rest.
