Never give up on life live for as long as you can <br />That goes for every woman as well as every man <br />We only live once at life no second chance <br />So why not be happy and laugh, sing and dance. <br /> <br />Never give up on life though you are aged and gray <br />And live for the moment and enjoy every day <br />Our time is too short for worry and woe <br />The sad sacks of the town few do wish for to know. <br /> <br />May your last day be your hardest as some are known to say <br />For the weeks hurry by and time keeps ticking away <br />We are only mortals like the sheep or the cow <br />And we only can live in the here and the now. <br /> <br />The great gift of life is a marvellous thing <br />And it's praises we ought to feel happy to sing <br />Your crosses may be hard to bear but why wish to die <br />Since none know of a hereafter and the facts never lie.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-give-up-on-life/
