I feel a touch of wonder-
As I watch the children play.
And marvel at how quickly,
That joy will fade away.

No thought just now of future-
All that will come in time.
They will look back in sorrow-
At moments so sublime.

For life is, O, so fleeting-
Your birth, you dream, you’re gone…
And memories of better times-
Just somehow linger on.

Stop and smell the flowers
Love and laugh and cry-
Enjoy fleeting pleasures-
For tomorrow you may die.
