Watch Your Step.

Life is short
It looks so long
We thought our journey is far
We look far ahead with lots of dreams
Though the winds of life breeze gently
One by one death kidnaps some of us
And those who grow into old age, 
Wake up one fine morning
and wish they were younger

In the arena called life;
life and death compete for attention
Humanity and its companions dance to the rhythm.
No one knows where it will end 
Everyone knows the two are as certain
as their existence.
Dance to the song of life.
Learn to interpret the music.
As you dance, watch your step.
The earth you stomp on awaits your coming.
