Hello there, guy
If you but knew
The things life had
In store for you
The joyful days –
Weddings and birth –
The grief of lives
Returned to earth
And while we know
These things occur
Exactly when
We can’t be sure
Nor will I tell you
Now, my friend;
Each moment has
A start and end
Which we must live within
Or miss
The beauty there
In all of this
So give the best
You have to give:
Hello there, guy
It’s time to live
(Prompted by this.)
