Once the wick of a candle is lit
The flame flickers and flutters for a bit,
The flame then burns strong and will strive to stay
But the candle silently melts away.
When we are born the timer`s switched on
And before you know it the time is gone,
It`s a tick tock that is never heard
Silently, ceaseless and can`t be deterred.
We can`t kid ourselves we can`t pretend
For each day takes us nearer to the end,
Nothing lasts forever and that`s a fact
Knowing this though can have quite an impact.
So live each day as though it was your last
And make sure you don`t regret your past.
