Life
Life is so short
Day by day our lives get shorter
And shorter once we grow old
Our muscles get weaker
And weaker no matter how hard
We cry or not once our time
Is over we will turn into dust
The clock is ticking up once
You realize your time is wasted
You cannot recover it
And so on your life will be over
Life is limited We dont know what time
We are going to die
Weather young or old
