So Little Of

So little of life's ways of i can claim to know And of material things for my years i have little to show But we learn as we live as the wise one does say With me anyhow it does seem this way We can only live in the now and the now is today The past it is dead like a leaf in decay At midnight this evening today will be gone And tomorrow will dawn and life will go on At the doorstep of seventy i feel lucky to be alive So many to this age not known to survive What time i have left i want to live in peace And hope my parting from life is a painless release With the one who said one only can be the best one can be I for one only can say i do agree.
