Not A Wise Thing

To try to look into the future is not a wise thing
For who is to say what tomorrow will bring
You may be a young person but who is to say
When the Reaper of lives will come reaping your way
People die as children and teenagers and in their lives prime
The Reaper of lives can visit you at anytime
Those who live for a century are of the rare few
And this is not saying anything that is new
It may serve you well to remember what the wise person said
Live for the now and never look too far ahead
Live and be happy for as long as you possibly can
For your term of living of time may not be a long span
Live in the now for yesterday has gone
Tomorrow for everyone will not dawn and life will go on.
