Count Life
Learn to count your life,
Age creeps up on us year by year,
Months slip away without so much as a tear,
Weeks weep silently as they are continually ignored,
Days left by the wayside like unwanted chores.
Is this your life? Do you value it so meanly?
This is your time, it is your turn, treasure it keenly,
Tally the hours of each and every precious day,
Reckon up and calculate what has been frittered away.
Learn to count your life.
