For Our Very Existence

For our very existence some price for to pay We age as we live a little by the day Every year on us shows beyond our physical prime Eventually even the fittest and strongest does lose out to time The praises of youthful beauty are so often sung But the aged of the future today are the young The champion of the past is an ex champion today On all living things time does have the last say Tomorrow will dawn when this day is done But sad as it may seem not for everyone For all of us from life a final farewell Though the dead never do hear the funeral bell For our very existence some price for to pay We age as we live a little by the day.
