Time's Not On Your Side Poem by Francis Duggan

Have you ever felt that time's not on your side
And from the Reaper of lives there is nowhere to hide
Your worth to humanity you often does doubt
And you often ask yourself what life is about
Your better years long in the forever gone
But the desire it is in you for to keep on living on
You will fight for life until your last living breath
You will not be one to surrender to death
It has been many years since you were in your life's prime
And you realize that you are running out of time
Each dawning one day nearer to your last night and day
The passing of time has left you balding and gray
In your eight decade of time quite a span
And you will live on for as long as you can.
