Life Is Short

When I sit back and think
I realise it all doesn't have 
meaning
The money we work so hard for
The children we strive so hard 
to bring up
The friends we try so hard to 
keep up with
Oh! How short life is


Not enough time to make 
friends
Not enough time to have fun
Knowing at the back of your 
mind
That it could end anytime
So beautiful and peaceful
Yet dangerous and evil
Is it a beautiful or ugly life?


We might just sit back
And wish our dreams true
Attainable aspirations
All our visons and goals 
achieved
We would wish, dream and 
aspire
But there's not enough time as..
Life is short!
