Hurry and Linger

Count them up

Day by day

Once lived, forever gone

Yet another takes its place

But still life is but a race

From sunset to dawn

Birth to death

Your first and last breath

Hurry up life, I've got things to do

Slow down life, the days are far too few

Count them down

Day by day

Once lived, forever gone

There's one less to take its place

Far too quickly we begin to lose that race

The sun sets, time to move on

At the end there's only death

Linger, linger, hold on to that last breath

Once gone, what do I do?

What's nextt?

No one has a clue
