A Week To Live

Monday, our first decade, and our lives are full of wonder
Tuesday, and our twenties are awash with blood and thunder
Wednesday, the miracle of children of our own
Thursday, and before we blink, the little ones are grown
Friday, and we’re looking back at our retreating dawn
Saturday, our circle shrinks as those we love are gone
Sunday, take the opportunity to give
The ones you love your true devotion, while you still yet live.

thanks Edith, it took about 10 minutes - sometimes the words simply fall out don't they? ;)
