The Years Seem To Go Quickly Poem by Francis Duggan

The years seem to go quickly beyond our physical prime
And eventually everyone runs out of time
The fact is we are born as mortals and fact never lie
And the longer you live the sooner you will die
Eventually it will happen some night or day
That the reaper of lives will come reaping your way
Death is a thing that cannot be denied
From the reaper of lives there is nowhere to hide
The average human life span of years three score and ten
A bit longer for women than it is for men
The years go by quickly and time ticks away
Make the most of the now and the now is today
Each day we live one day nearer to our last
And at the stroke of midnight today will be of the past.
