Life

Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is dead
Today is here weeping 
Weeping at her sisters departure

Today is growing and going 
To be buried as yesterday
Time and time
Say we tarry not

Tomorrow is an unborn orphan
Everyday is a still born 
The future shall come to now
And every now shall become then

So shall every living man 
Who treads 
The orbit of life
Sink and pass away
Such is life.
