For Our Very Existence Poem by Francis Duggan

For Our Very Existence



For our very existence some price for to pay
We age as we live a little by the day
Every year on us shows beyond our physical prime
Eventually even the fittest and strongest does lose out to time
The praises of youthful beauty are so often sung
But the aged of the future today are the young
The champion of the past is an ex champion today
On all living things time does have the last say
Tomorrow will dawn when this day is done
But sad as it may seem not for everyone
For all of us from life a final farewell
Though the dead never do hear the funeral bell
For our very existence some price for to pay
We age as we live a little by the day.
