the clock is ticking
and days are escaping
and any time we’ve saved
is already gone
don’t waste your breath bargaining
God’s heard it all before
and ask not for whom
the box in the ground waits
it waits for thee
so take off your shoes
and feel the cold wet grass
tickling between your toes
turn up the music
and dance ‘til you’re done
and seek out the face that
is still comforting after all these years
and tell it how you feel
when I was a kid I loved
Disneyland, pretty melodies
birthday cake, the Marx Brothers
and books
and I love them all still
there are fewer days ahead
than behind me
and one of these days
will be my last
every sunset is a miracle
every ache is a reminder
every prayer is gratitude
and if I get cake
for my birthday tomorrow
I’ll savor it
and if not
I’ll take what I can get
and wring every drop I can
from it
I haven’t the time
for anything else
