I Just Want To Live On Poem by Francis Duggan

My better days to the forever gone
But that does not phase me i want to live on
Living in this world for as long as i can
And die without pain as a very old man
Of the supposed life after death is not for me to say
And since i do not believe in a god that to i could pray
I just want to live happy and healthy of old age to die
Since life after death may be based on a lie
I know that time on me does tick away
So i feel grateful for life on my every waking day
Financially i have not been doing well of late
But in my life i have much to celebrate
I am healthy and compared to many my worries seem small
And i am enjoying life which matters most of all.
