life is short

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
