Life Is Short

LIFE  IS SHORT 


Life is short
They declare and
I’ m inclined to agree
With that
 
Short, perhaps, to make
Us happy
BUT
Exceedingly long 
To make us unhappy
I may ADD!

Most of the time we do get to choose... I choose happy! Have a great day, my friend! Jack

Me too my friend I choose to be happy. What I mean is that just a few seconds may ruin ones life and we have millions of those seconds! In that way life is very very long! Thank you!
