In life
In the winter of your life
they say the end is coming
you lived your life for many years
or it was a short trip
Some die in their mothers womb
others become hundred and twenty
no one gets a program to where
the way of life is heading
Sometimes this is for the best
other times it makes you mad
not to know what comes next
in this day to day life
No deals to make with it
you just have to wait and see
what the next day will bring along
and response to the circumstances
Some people are in a bind
fighting with their health
others make a mess of things
by being unaware
Of cause and effect of some matters
there is much to say about
so whatsoever you consider
handle desires with care
