A Warning of Impermanence
Sing me a song of significance
One in need of skill to vocalize
A ballad commanding reverence
And draws a tear to the eye
Tell me a tale of relevance
Like an epic seldom heard
Be sure to mind your eloquence
Make me believe in every word
Recite a poem with elegance
One of your very own design
Just speak it without hesitance
And it needn't be in rhyme
Paint me a scene of opulence
One surely of master's hand
Without a hint of ambivalence
Of a shipwreck in the sand
Just live a life of rememberance
Make wise use of fleeting time
I warn of life's impermanence
Do more with yours than I with mine
