Our biological clock on us ticks time away <br />We grow a bit older every night and day <br />Whoever said time flies did not have it wrong <br />And in time a hundred years is not that long <br />An octogenarian is old as most would agree <br />Yet not many do live for a century <br />'Tis a fact of life and facts never lie <br />That like all other life forms us Humans must die <br />For every life form there is a final Spring <br />The little songbird has his last song to sing <br />And from the grove he lives in long after he has gone <br />His song in the males of his descendants destined to live on <br />The ticking of our biological clock we never do hear <br />But each tick that it gives to it's last tick is near.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-biological-clock/
