Life Is But a Short Stay

Birth begins with great pains,
New life wins just the same.
Sorrowful howl man’s first song.
Joy will soon come along.
All have appointed hours,
Make time to view flowers.
Waste ye not any day.
Life is but a short stay.

You are so right, Kenneth. One thing is for certain, "there ain't no going back"
