‘Best Before’ Date 2

Big trees stand
and big trees fall.
Live things die.
That is all.

Soon we’ll know
when it is time.
We are no longer
in our prime.

Until then, get up and smile,
be thankful for the sun.
Get busy, do and be your best
get all those projects done.

For now forget the dates,
get on with life each day.
When it’s time there will be no doubt
we’ll simply fly away.
