MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE NEVER ASKING WHY

MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE
NEVER ASKING WHY

We live each day and hope it’s not too late
to complete what’s expected of our fate.

We fear ill-mannered Death will come too soon
and steal us from our noble half-done task:
our best work unfinished, left in ruins.

How foolish to question our last day,
when mountains crumble, never asking why.
Are we humans not less mighty than they?
All creation in proper time will die.

Let’s live our lives as if today’s our last.
Consider life the time from sun to moon.
Start living in the moment.  Don’t delay.
Open our hearts to kindness.  At least try
to fill the hours with good.  Time won’t wait.
