Since The Life Journey We Are On Poem by Francis Duggan

The biological clocks on our lives ever ticking on fast
And all we can do is to learn from the past
And whilst all do grow old few grow wise and gray
Sometimes wisdom can be heard from the mouths of children as the wise one does say
Like all mortal life forms we are born to die
The same for the earth worm as you and i
Though the praises of those they see as successful the impressionable masses do sing
The thing feared by many death can be a good thing
Since equality with it to all people it does bring
And it does make the pauper equal to the queen and king
The retired old horse in the paddock is equal to me
Since he and i are to die eventually
We are born to die why otherwise pretend
Since the life journey we are on does come to an end.
