Life Is Short Poem by Philo Yan

Life Is Short

Rating: 5.0


Life is very short
some are born to stay
no more than just one day
And as the years go by
from ten to twenty fly....

For those of us who live
next thirty, forty more
have something to believe
before we die for sure....

The lucky, blessed, bliss
Next 50 years at least
The healthy, strong and fit
Have fun for quite a bit....

The rarest few who live
past ninety years or so
grow weak and sets adrift
the mind will start to go....

Life is very short
And when we think "Never"
We fool ourselves, we think
that this life is forever....
