Flame of life

Year after year

Month by month

Day after day

Hour following hour

Each and every minute

And the ticking seconds

Time is fleeting.

As each day draws to a close

So does the candle of our life

Get shorter, and sometimes brighter.

So let’s strive for a lovely glow

Before the final blow

And dazzle the world with a blazing flame

Before we reach the end of our game.
