Life
Analysing diet,
Walking every day,
Getting enough sleep;
Extending life for play.
Aches and pains,
Memories fade
Energies diminish:
No long-term plans are laid.
Hanging on to life,
Extending the day,
Loving this universe:
More than we can say.
So many things to do,
Places to go.
Filling all the moments
In places high and low.
Analysing diet,
Walking every day,
Getting enough sleep;
Extending life for play.

You’ve only got one life and it’s very short. The universe is packed; wonders abound. There are so many experiences to be had, so much to do, see, hear and touch. We need to enjoy every second.
As you approach the end and the dimming of the light; as the stars blink out forever and the sun never shines, as you feel the last caress, hear the last notes and spin off into oblivion, the one question hangs in the air – have you done enough? Enjoyed it enough? Made the most of your short trip?
