Every new dawn is to us a car
one of which we are either made or mar
still to us the end seem far
and why we say
"nothing dey pa".
This piece of mine
'a prodigal knight'
use this time to set priorities right
seek and apply knowledge which is light
that your days may glitter bright.
Then as feet past life's shore
all in place you will be very sure.
Left to us we need just day
for to us the night won't pay
but while sun last let's make hay
then at night peacefully we will lay
This piece of mine
'your personal scale'
of course to some this is another stale
but why not pause and ask yourself
"depriving my name off life's shelf
what gain is there living a life of self?"
and when out of this terrestrial ball
curse posterity rain for a great fall.
We least expect when life says
"it's over"
for to us the grave seem farer
this piece of mine, not to make you shiver
cos every tick draws us closer.
Take time out to think and re - think
those thoughts of yours you may also have to ink
travel in thought far and near
some of which you may bear
even some on you rain fear
think of past, present, and future here
all of these; i say please wear.
Life itself is as a line
sometimes rough and sometimes fine
this piece of mine is more than nine
see the signs that the end is nigh.
Take heed! he whose strength is full
lest he fall like a skillful fool
for life at best is very brief
be in time and not in grief.
Live this life as an assest
not necessariliy with your accent
so, live a life worth living
with that life you've been given.
