All Our Days
As a child life is fun with nothing to frown
We live in the moment with laughter our crown
We enter our teens and find with a frown
That life has its ups as well as its downs
We fall into our twenty’s with stars in our eyes
To see all hopes turn to tears with our cries
On into the thirty’s to find with a shudder
That fear is the is essence of life’s lonely rudder
Then comes our forty’s with pain in our past
We look to the future with nothing to grasp
The Fifty’s descend on our minds like a fog
That robs us of reasons to live in life’s bog
Sixty's and onward we find the true fact
That life is a balance of future and past
With fear as the force that drives all our days
And life is a rat race with death its last play
