I Have Learned From Life Poem by Francis Duggan

I have learned from life not to look far ahead
For i know by tomorrow i too may be dead
For in life as we know there is never a guarantee
As we are born as mortals to die eventually
Not everyone lives for to grow old and gray
And for some young people today may be their final day
To plan too far ahead it is not very wise
We must live in the now i have come to realize
I know where and when i was born but i do not know where and when i will die
And when i say i fear death i am not telling a lie
For i do not believe in a World in the sky
Where post bodily death good souls with wings to will fly
I have learned from life for to life for today
Since time on my existence keeps ticking away.
