Days Of A Lifetime

Take all the days of your lifetime
And count them one by one.
There are a lot of days in a lifetime
When a lifetime is young.

When you start at the beginning
They seem endless year by year.
But when you near the ending
Far to few remain I fear.

There are days to make you happy
Days you will regret.
Some you will remember
And some you will forget.

So take each day of your lifetime
And make it all you can.
For one thing that's for certain
It can't be lived again.
