Just One Life

Unless we reincarnate
We are granted just one life.
We have to make the best of it –
The joys and all the strife.

The days they trickle slowly
And, no matter how we live,
Our time on earth is limited,
Like sand stuck in a sieve.

So even if we agonize
It’s best to let things go.
When days are numbered, it’s a waste
To spend them feeling low.

But human nature fools us
So we think we have forever
To fret and figure fare-thee-wells
Are not for ones so clever.
