Try To Live As Happy Poem by Francis Duggan

The past is behind us and the future ahead
And the now is all that does matter as has often been said
And it is true you learn more from life than any book you have read
Make the most of the now you will be forever dead
The seconds of our lives ever ticking away
At the stroke of midnight the past will be today
Do try to live as happy life is short true to say
Only earth worms live where dead people lay
You know who your friends are when you are feeling down
For few wish to know of a sad sack of the town
The one who is happy others of wish to know
And her or his friends in numbers do grow
We are born to die truer words never said
So try to live as happy you will be forever dead.
