Short Is Life Poem by Randy McClave

Life is too short many will shout and say
Then they will scream, let's go out and play,
Because, we none are promised the very next day
So, many will scream let's have fun anyway.
Life indeed is very short
It might be finished before our plans we sort,
It might be done before we enter the port
Tomorrow, our plans death might even thwart.
To many this is their sincerest belief
We have fun today, because tomorrow is brief,
And death always arrives just like a thief
And he leaves family and friends awakened, and in grief.
We all are just given one life
And it can be ended quickly whenever Destiny severs with a knife,
Tomorrow and the future is full of strife
Today, many will scream let excitement be rife.
But, one thing many seem to forget
While planning their tomorrow, as they strategize and sit,
Indeed life is short, many will quickly admit
But, remember eternity is long, better prepare for it.
