Life’s Events
Life is not a track event
In which you run the span
In the shortest time you can
Life is a field event
to try your best present
in a few attempts meant
Your time is set as it may
Twenty-four hour to a day
Waste it, and it won’t delay
The end for the game to play
Burn the midnight candle late
Or even at both ends, and you may hate
to end sooner than the game can wait
So take your time and play it fair, dear
Be higher, stronger, longer and happier
