Life is short
I want to make it sweet
But the way is long
And I have commitments to meet
Seven to eight hours I just sleep and eat
Though conscious of the fact I have promises to keep
Alas! Time is so swift
That things begin to heap..
Who knows about tomorrow
So let me use today
To do all I want
In the best possible way
‘too busy’ is a myth
So I won’t just sit and wait
My bucket list is long
There’s too much on my plate
So let me carry along
And try to live well
The results then will be
Just for time to tell
