So doggedly I spurred myself To run the aimless treadmill Of the life I though I ought to live And never heard the music Inviting me to dance. While I pursued prosperity So I could meet The clamoring wants of those I thought I ought to please I failed to hear the whispered needs of my slowly starving soul. While I postponed the things I longed to do I squandered life on trivialities And deemed myself immortal: And only now it is too late Do I appreciate What I have missed. P.S. This is for people who postpone having fun in life, while they can.
