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
