It's Not the Years In Your Life, It's the Life In Your Years
Don’t waste your life with regretful tears.
“It’s not the years in your life,
It’s the life in your years”
Abraham Lincoln spoke these words,
Some of the wisest I’ve ever heard.
By these wise words I work or I play.
This day is as precious as one to come
And the longest has but a very brief stay.
Each is a part of the total sum
And much too important to fritter away.
