The Life In Your Years
Born we are once upon this earth
living throughout our allocated years
filling the years with all we’ve got
amidst all the stress troubles and tears
When counting up all the years
there is life consider it all
each moment makes one ponder
all of it since one was small
What’s this existence really all about
taking one day simply at a time
realise the moment you’ve been given
brings opportunity your life to climb
Count the quality within you
add it up see what you feel
hear your heart beat just now
there it is your will to heal
(‘In the end it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years’. )
- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
