A person is a person...

A person is a person, no matter now small
no matter how big, no matter how tall
A persons a person no matter what they do
a persons a person who goes to the zoo.

Stephen King once wrote...

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not.

Time takes it all, time bares it away

and in the end there is only darkness.

Sometimes we find others in that darkness 

and sometimes we loose them there again.
