At the Edge of Life
AT THE EDGE OF LIFE
When you're near the edge of life
Much closer to its end
You realize there's not much left
And death is not a friend
When you look back on it all
And see the deeds undone
You know you weren't always wise
When spending time for fun
You see what the young don't know
That time can slip away
And no one ever spends it well
They find too late in day
So if you're young, take my advice
Please value time each day
For you won't know when time is up
Or where your future lay
The safest route is to find your Maker
And in His hands to stay
For He will lead you to the end
Which begins in a brand new day
