Aging and Death
As we see our friends and neighbors
aging from day to day,
is it from meaningless cares and labors
that their life dwindles away?
Yet try as we might
to weigh what we do, drink and eat
and measure each delight
against what might longevity defeat
we will eventually enter that portal
because none of us is an immortal
except those
like a Chopin, Mendelssohn or Mozart clever
whose
work was so fine
that they live through art forever
even when dying at less than thirty nine.
As to a Moral I have none--
except to say--
on the way,
please, don't forget to have some fun.
