Life

Take a minute and sit right down
And take a good look all around
We start our lives as babes in hand
Our parents have all kinds of plans

Needing help with everything we do
Before we know it your going to school
Those years fly past before you know
Your no longer a child your fully grown

To start a life with a career
making plans for coming years
Some of us will marry have children and then
It all starts to go round again

Your children grow up and fly the nest
Now its your time to take a rest
Again the years go flying by
You are getting old but still you try

To keep going until you can no more
Do the things you want and wonder what,s in store
For our hearts are like a big old clock
Ticking until one day they stop

So live everyday like its your last
For life goes past so very fast
