Unreachable For Some
Someone's lifespan is a number
some live short and others long
we don't know how many we've got
but one day it'll be our final song
Many folk don't reach the special fifty
that age that we can for granted take
some don't get past childhood or teens
others it's 30s even 40s their life's forsake
So take a moment to consider
those that are cut off before their prime
they never have reached their fifty
short indeed certainly has been their time
Be thankful for our every moment
life brings on your pathway
whether you reach the fifty or not
be glad and happy for your every day!
