Not but once shall we trek this way <br /> So with open heart and mind <br /> Enjoy this day <br /> For tomorrow shall come all so soon <br /> Today gone forever <br /> Like the illusions of the dune <br /> <br /> Walk with me down this path of roses <br /> While the joys we share <br /> That this day composes <br /> <br /> Let not the beauty slip through your hands <br /> As with the hourglass <br /> And it's continuous sands <br /> <br /> Oh what joys we shall have <br /> But only for a very short while <br /> Then gone are we <br /> Like the leaves and flowers <br /> In their own style <br /> <br /> So walk with me down this path of roses <br /> And share with me the wonders <br /> This life composes<br /><br />C.
