It Is A Fact Of Life

It is a fact of life and fact never lie
Like all other life forms us humans are born to die
Like the  bird of song who has his last song to sing
For each one of us there will be a last Spring
For each one of us there is a  last New Year
But of death it is  only the  fear we do fear
One reason to life the dying desperately do cling
Though death as part of life is a natural thing
The longest lived human life in time is not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Age creeps on us and we  lose our youthful elan
So do enjoy life for as long as you can
Since none have come back post death to tell us  of what lay ahead
Make the  most of the now you'll be forever dead.
