LIFE IS SHORT

Even at seventy,
Life still feels short,
When does one think,
"I've had a full shot"?
Like vapour fading,
Into the vast sky,
Even with riches,
Life says a quick goodbye.

Years with wealth,
But they quickly fly,
Life's like a dance,
A short, sweet try.
Even at its longest,
It's true shortness is found,
A fleeting journey,
Yet life is short.
