It Is A Fact Of Life And Fact Nver Lie Poem by Francis Duggan

It is a fact of life and fact never lie
That the longer you live the sooner you will die
And the longest lived human life in time is not a long span
The woman by a few years on average does outlive the man
It does not seem that long ago when i was in my life's prime
And now i am one of those on the wrong side of time
Enjoy your prime years for time does tick on fast
And come tomorrow today it will be in the past
Time will not wait for you like it did not wait for me
And only a few live for a century
We only have memories of Seasons long gone
And our biological clocks ever keep ticking on
Eventually time becomes everyone's foe
When i was in my prime it does not seem long ago.
