Live Every Day As If It Is Your Last Poem by Francis Duggan

Live every day as if it is your last day and one day you'll be right
As that is as sure as the day follows night
The poor they can laugh as well as dance and sing
And death is far greater than the queen or the king
You may ask what point I am trying to make here
But you may get my drift if with me you persevere
You may as well be happy I am trying to say
For time does not wait it ticks and ticks away
The one with the most money does not always laugh loud
And you'll even see a sad face in a happy crowd
And brief enough indeed is the human life span
So try to enjoy life for as long as you can
So laugh and be merry when all is said and done
Not many do wish to know the sad faced one.
