I Have Learned From Life

I have learned from life not to look far ahead For i know by tomorrow i too may be dead For in life as we know there is never a guarantee As we are born as mortals to die eventually Not everyone lives for to grow old and gray And for some young people today may be their final day To plan too far ahead it is not very wise We must live in the now i have come to realize I know where and when i was born but i do not know where and when i will die And when i say i fear death i am not telling a lie For i do not believe in a World in the sky Where post bodily death good souls with wings to will fly I have learned from life for to life for today Since time on my existence keeps ticking away.
