Though Time It Does Never Wait

The odds are the parents will be outlived by their daughter and son
Though time it does never wait on anyone
And on how long you will live never a guarantee
Death can come at anytime is how it seems to be
The Reaper of lives can come at anytime
People die young and old and in their lives prime
Though three score and ten years the average human life span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Wisdom comes with age or so we are told
But the few wise people i know they are far from old
Though many do seem to grow wiser with age
Only a wise young person can grow to a sage
But us humans like all other mortals are born to die
And that death is for everyone is not a lie.
