So I came to this conclusion
That life is just an illusion
Your here today gone tomorrow
With bites of joy and lots of sorrow
Time as a child swift and enlightening
Teenager years mysterious and frightening
Young adult decade building a future
House and a spouse hope they will suit you
Into your thirties mortgage and children
The house that was home us more like a warren
The middle years a crisis is coming
Motorbike revving leave the engine running.
Its getting late time to check on your savings.
Make sure you have enough for all your cravings
So now your rocking in your favorite chair
Look round for your family but realise your in care
People visit you your name the do mention
But your mind is fading into dementia.
Now doctor sleep is stood at your bed
You just woke up to find you are dead.
