Those Who Dice With Death

Those who dice with death do receive their due An old saying of meaning i hold to be true The longest human life in time is not a long span So live for as long as you possibly can The praises of dead heroes and heroines people may sing But the great gift of life is a marvelous thing The last night and day of us all is ahead And joy is never found in the place of the dead Us humans are mortals and born to die This is a fact of life and fact never lie And even though lady luck may not be smiling your way Do try to make the most of every day For we are getting older and yesterday's gone And our biological clocks do keep ticking on.
