Our Temporal Existence

This side or the other, time alone is the deciding factor you may think that you are happy, but you're an actor no matter how much you change, there's a price to pay there's just no escape, we all know, the end is a one way Focus your actions in this world, they define who you really are you'll ultimately be judged by others, whether you were on par and even if you don't care, know that it's about right and wrong if you make the right choices, rejoice, you don't need to belong Your heart and your mind, yes, these are really one and the same living on, past the limitations of a physical existence, is only shame shame for what you could have done differently, why didn't you think instead choosing those bitter waters, all that remains for you to drink Learn the value of patience, it will bring happiness to your address without it, all you can look forward to is disappointment and distress life is much too precious to waste away, since time is not on our side discern the higher meaning of life, before taking that final spiritual ride Our temporal existence, how the pleasures of this world make us forget just what we could have done while we were here, and this to our regret yet all is not lost, so long as the candle is still burning, we can still change we have all been given life as a gift, and our very own destiny to arrange As desire still has power in us, do not let these opportunities go lost forever avoid the arrogance, so innate in all of us, this shared attitude of, "whatever" twilight years are quickly advancing, who knows when they will finally arrive eternal happiness awaits, just prepare for the journey, and to this alone strive
