Life (Cap Verse) Poem by Christopher Tye

Life (Cap Verse)

Life is for the living to live,
Every breath is precious,
So live the moment and the day,
Yesterdays could be tales or regret or adventure,
Everybody has choices so follow your heart,
Time is so short for us humans,
Spanning decades but eclipsed by trees,
Spanning millennia imagine a tree's life,
Even now some trees from the time of Christ live,
Eons of time compared with our short lifespans,
So think what four thousand year old Bristlecone Pines have seen.
