How fast our lives through time evolve.
How fleeting is each day.
Each triumph slowly will dissolve
In this relentless way.
What would I do if God ordain
I pass through life once more.
A second chance, this time to gain
What passed me by before.
More time! If gained, then how forestall
It's journey far from me?
For in the end I leave it all
To start eternity.
