I will one day begin to decay.
Slowly all I am will fade away.
So there is not time to play-
Or to fall into the silly cliché.
Life is ticking away every day,
But I will go on as if I am okay.

We all know this simple truth.
Yet we go on everyday knowing,
That we can’t hold to our youth.
Still we live all the time knowing.

One day I will surely decay-
Until then I will be okay.

"We're all miracles. Know why? Because as humans, every day we go about our business, and all that time we know... we all know... that the things we love... the people we love, at any time now can all be taken away. We live knowing that and we keep going anyway." -Little Children

Great message. It's such an obvious idea that each day we get closer to the end but it's so overlooked and its awesome that you dedicated a poem to enunciating this point. It's really a way to get people to appreciate life. +fave. =)

Great rhyming too.
